There are freak injuries, and then there are freak injuries. Although Cubs fans will miss Tyler Colvin for the remainder of the season, I think I speak for everyone when I say I’m just glad he’s going to be OK. This one could have been a lot worse. Here’s hoping Tyler has a quick and painless recovery. I know we all look forward to watching him play again in 2011.
MLB.com has video of the incident, if you missed it.
“You never want to have a season end early, and I’m disappointed that I’m not going to be able to make it through the finish line with the rest of my teammates. That being said, I couldn’t be more thankful for the Cubs organization, my teammates and the opportunity to play for Cubs fans my rookie season. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Yikes! Glad it didn’t hurt him too badly : /
If it had been any worse we would probably be holding candlelight vigils.
Such a freak accident! It was so scary!!! I’m so glad he’s going to be okay, and I will definitely be happy to see him back next year!
