PC can't read.
I was just cutting through the bullcrap.
First, what the hell is "ill effects"? Did he mean Ill FX, the name of new hip hop star that we've never heard of?
99% of major league baseball players could have done what he did today with NO EFFECTS! He used his hand to brace himself as he was approaching a wall. He wasn't in a dead sprint because he'd just caught the ball. It shouldn't even be a question about whether he's hurt or not, for goodness sake. Giancarlo Stanton just did a similar thing in Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh has those awful black medal fences inside the outfield fence. You could see Stanton using his hand to brace himself and hear it because Giancarlo is a very big man but I'll bet he doesn't have ill effects...especially considering he hit a tape measured homerun on his next at bat.
Harper's threshold for injury seems to be a lot lower than other players. I'm glad he dumped Kay Varner because with all the heaving and panting and bending and twisting...and bracing involved, sex might actually kill him!
