Coughing Up Blood
Justin Morneau suffered a serious injury during tonight's 5-4 loss to Florida:
Minnesota Twins slugger Justin Morneau was taken to a hospital Friday night with an injury to his upper right chest after he collided with Florida Marlins catcher Miguel Olivo at home plate.
Morneau was coughing up blood repeatedly, was out of breath and had chest pains, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said.
Morneau, the 2006 American League MVP, was taken away on a stretcher by fire-rescue workers after the game. He was sitting upright, wearing an oxygen mask and seemed alert.
I wonder if a rib broke and punctured a lung? Let's hope he recovers quickly.
