Sam broke his hand on Tuesday playing baseball. He caught a ball and tried to trap it with his right hand, but somehow his pinky finger got in the way. It is called a boxer's fracture because it usually happens to someone who has punched a stationary object, like someone's face. I asked Sam if he tried to take out the runner with a jab, but he swears he did not. Anyway, we did not know it was broken and he played another game (even pitched). I finally took him to the doctor yesterday and today he got the beautiful pink cast. Sam is nothing if not confident in his masculinity. Baseball 2008 is over! New nickname - Lobster Boy.
