AWW SHUCKS
Aaron Boone. Tried to be like Mike. OOPS.
New York Yankees third baseman Aaron Boone could miss the entire 2004 season after suffering a major knee injury last week while playing basketball in violation of his contract with the club, according to two baseball sources.
The sources said doctors believe Boone suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
The Yankees will seek all or some relief from the $5.75 million they were to pay Boone this season. Boone, whose dramatic home run ended the epic seventh game of the 2003 American League Championship Series against Boston, avoided arbitration Dec. 1 when he agreed to the one-year deal to return to the Yankees. His contract contains a standard clause that prevents the player from engaging in activities considered to pose significant risk of injury. Basketball is specifically mentioned in the clause as a prohibited activity.
Paging Mr. Henson, paging Mr. Henson...
Anyways, I guess this means that Bret's little bro gets to spend more time with this person.
It really sucks to be Aaron Boone right now, doesn't it?
