I know you mentioned the minutiae in the other thread, so here's a fun one:

RH Jeff Niemann
Second-highest winning percentage (.623) in history by a 6'9" or taller pitcher, behind Randy Johnson's .646.

tougher than me for leaving a game with a broken bone and not scheduled to come back for 6 weeks? K, dude. Whatever you say.

What? He left the farking game subby, what a pussy.

I ripped all my ligaments and chipped a bone in my ankle playing basketball before a semi-pro baseball tournament, played the tournament that week and then played the next two weekends of softball league finals, that following Monday the ankle was twice its size but I had to play in our league tournaments that weekend. That Monday morning I wake up and can barely pick up my leg, stretch it out, go in the kitchen to get coffee before showering for work and the ex-GF screams. I take a good look down to what she is screaming about, my entire ankle is completely bluish black and about the size of a cantaloupe, I tell her it doesnt hurt and I will make a Dr's appointment later, she grabs me and yells to call work because she is taking me to the doctor now. Some women are such pansies.

It really only hurt a little, of course that was because I had pinched the nerves when I injured it, once it started healing it hurt like hell. Most of my buddies were pissed I was going to miss most of our baseball season, never acknowledging the fact the doctor said I could have lost the foot if I kept ignoring the injury, luckily I didnt need surgery, just a cast for 6 weeks, still rolls over easy even 15 years later.

he finished the inning on a broken leg. considering the weight and force pitchers put on legs when they push off and land, that is rather impressive. it must have hurt. maybe it had just gone numb on him right away.

I broke my leg playing baseball when I was 12. I cried like a baby.

Just kidding, I got up and tried to walk off the field, but that didn't work so I had two teammates help me. Then they went to call for an ambulance, then I lay around the waiting room for over an hour because they couldn't get hold of my parents & needed permission to cut my pants off or something. Then they put me in a full leg, all plaster cast because this was the 1800s (really it was the early 1980s), and I wore that for 6 weeks. Then it wasn't quite fully healed, so they put me in a below-the-knee cast for another two weeks. The first night with the new cast, I rolled over in my sleep and my knee bent for the first time in a month and a half. Then I cried like a baby. Like a baby girl.

A broken leg off a line-drive? Really? More like "Tampa Bay pitcher Jeff Neimann has osteoperosis worse than you", subby.

Tougher than me?

Nope (It's Gory)

It appears I finished a marathon with a broken foot. Judging by splits, somewhere around mile 22.

/this is the worst tough guy competition ever
