Little Leaguers are taught not to slide headfirst into 1st base trying to get a hit. Hamilton was trying to show up his new idol, Yasiel Puig, who did the same stunt a few days earlier and also hurt his thumb - no surgery. .
Surgery is required, I've heard of this injury before, 7-10 weeks out.
It still would have happened if he had not done drugs before because that has no relation to the thumb.
Sure. You can do stupid stuff sober, too.
According to reports, Hamilton injured his thumb diving into 1st base on Tuesday night. Would this have happened if he hadn't been stoned?
