ORLANDO -- Toronto Blue Jays infielder Edwin Encarnacion was released Saturday from a Miami hospital after being treated for minor facial injuries caused by fireworks during the New Year's festivities in his native Dominican Republic.
Encarnacion suffered first- and second-degree burns in the forehead and the right side of his face when a rocket firecracker hit him in the jaw and exploded near his mouth while celebrating with family in his home of La Romana.
"Thank God everything is OK with my face. I don't have any fractures or serious injuries and I won't need any kind of surgery," Encarnacion told ESPNdeportes.com on the phone while leaving Jackson Memorial Hospital.
Theo Epstein! Paging Theo Epstein! Why aren’t you looking for infielders with instincts like this? This silly sonofabitch stopped a rocket firecracker with his EFFIN head. He must go after baseballs with such intense vigor that you could find a spot for his silly ass on this 2010 Red Sox roster, right? I mean, you settle on Adrian Beltre when you could’ve signed or explored a trade for a crazy sonofabitch like this instead? Some crazy ass New Years parties in the Dominican huh? I can just see the good ole fossil Pesky now, grabbing his fungo bat, telling Edwin to head out to third base for infield and just when J-Pesk tosses the ball up to hit him a grounder, Tito shoots a rocket missile firecracker through Pesky’s legs in Edwin’s direction. Lets see if this crazy bastard is strong to his backhand and dives to stop that one when he’s fighting for a job in Fort Myers.
