I just wanted a pack of smokes and an afternoon coffee from the bodega near my apartment, but there was no hiding from Amar’e Fire Extinguisher Gate.

UPDATE: ESPN tracked down some other athletes that injured themselves when their emotons got the best of them. It’s all gonna be OK Amar’e. 

Ryan Madson: In 2010, Phillies closer Ryan Madson broke his big toe following an incident where he kicked a metal folding chair in frustration after blowing a save against the Giants. The broken toe sent Madson to the DL for more than a month.

Kevin Brown: Frustrated by an injury-filled season in 2004, Yankees pitcher Kevin Brown made it worse when he broke his non-pitching hand by punching a clubhouse wall during the sixth inning of New York’s 3-1 loss to the Orioles.

Jason Isringhausen: The pitcher bruised his hand punching a trash can in 1996, a few weeks after he stabbed himself opening a package.

John Tudor: Game 7 of the 1985 World Series, Cardinals pitcher John Tudor punched an electrical fan with his pitching hand after being pulled from the game. TV viewers were initially confused when the announcers reported that Tudor had “punched a fan in the clubhouse.”

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: During the 1974 preseason, Abdul-Jabbar broke his hand after punching the basket support stanchion following a hard foul. On the play, Abdul-Jabbar scratched his eye and he would wear protective goggles for the rest of his playing career. The broken hand sidelined Abdul-Jabbar for the first 16 games of the 1974-75 season. With Oscar Robertson retired, the Bucks went 38-44 and missed the playoffs for the first time since Abdul-Jabbar was drafted.

Dummy.
