I don't get it. When I broke my thumb, it was simple: 1. I hurt it. 2. It hurt 3. Went to doctor. 4. Docter took x-ray. 5. He said, "It's broke" I'm sure they x-rayed it at the park (they DO have one, no?). I would speculate that if it is broke, it's a very minor fracture. Sucks that his great season may end early, but he'll be good to go next year. Look on the bright side, we really don't need him anymore this year, and it will further devalue him. We might even be able to afford him soon!
