1 0 All Reedster^326 Not to be outdone by Sosa, Dmitri Young uses Spring Training as an opportunity for a home-plate collision 3/6/05, 1:53pm From the article: &box-Young left the game to get five stitches on his ear. After returning to the dugout, he said the blood was worth it because the aggressive play was meant to convey how the Detroit Tigers intend to play this season.-box& Hmmm... but tell me this Dmitri. Coming from a guy who had a shortened season last season because of a collision at first base (he was fielding), how is a Spring Training injury going to help the Tigers in the regular season? Maybe a few of the Tiger pitchers can start beaning marquis players in Spring Training games? Dmitri received 5 stitches to his ear for the collision. Better than a fractured leg, for certain.
