Carl Pavano ruptures spleen while shoveling snow

[behnke2017]

Free-agent pitcher Carl Pavano recently suffered a ruptured spleen that will sideline him for six to eight weeks, according to a report by FoxSports.com.

Pavano, 37, was injured when he slipped and fell while shoveling snow in his driveway at his home in Vermont, a source told the website.

Pavano, who has been with the Minnesota Twins since the middle of 2009, didn't pitch in a game last season after June 1 due to a right shoulder injury. He went just 2-5 with a 6.00 ERA in 11 games.

Strange injuries aren't anything new for Pavano, who once landed on the disabled list after bruising his buttocks in a 2006 spring training game while with the New York Yankees. He also suffered two broken ribs in an automobile accident later that season, an incident he originally didn't tell the team about.

The New York Mets and Colorado Rockies were among teams that were showing interest in Pavano this offseason, Fox reported.

You would think he'd be like most baseball players, and live in Arizona, where he doesn't have to deal with that kind of nonsense...

year round baseball...

I can't fault him for living in a cold weather state..

Some people like that stuff.

I just don't get how he wouldn't have a snow blower in a state where it all it does is snow.

I'm a Yankee fan and live in Vermont. Would love to find out where he lives and egg his house.

David Robertson on the Yankees back in May of last year.

You must not do a lot of snow removal cause I have a snowblower and I still use my shovel all the time.
