Kansas City Royals right fielder Jose Guillen could miss up to 10 weeks due to a torn right knee ligament sustained while trying to put on a shin guard during a game.
Guillen was injured in the second inning of Wednesday's 9-6 loss to the Los Angeles Angels, saying he felt his knee pop while bending over to put on a shin guard before his first at-bat. He was taken to the hospital during the game and test results showed a partially torn lateral collateral ligament.

I suppose it's rare that players are injured by the equipment that is supposed to protect them.

This sounds like an injury that would happen to the Jays. I'm surprised it hasn't yet.
Totally.
I feel a little less guilty for making light of this now that Jerry and Alan were likewise cracking up about it on the radio today.
