The Door Always Wins…

by Anthony Amobi

In a moment of lunacy, stupidity, frustration, or a combination of all three, Kansas City Royals left-hander John Bale, already on the disabled list because of a tight shoulder, broke his pitching hand punching a door at the team’s hotel in Cleveland according to the Baltimore Sun this morning.

A club spokesman said Bale, informed team officials he had pain in his hand after striking the door Friday. X-rays were taken during Saturday night’s 4-2 win over the Indians, revealing the fracture on the side of his hand.

Bale returned to Kansas City, Mo., yesterday morning. He will be examined by team doctors, possibly today.

He was making progress with his shoulder problem, and it was hoped he would come off the DL in the next few days. He threw a simulated game Friday and was scheduled to throw live batting practice early in the week. After Friday’s throwing session, manager Trey Hillman was optimistic Bale was close to being activated.

Sigh. Just too bad…
