Travis Wood left with mangled finger after crossbow accident

If hunting with a crossbow is your thing, you might want to take what happened to Detroit Tigers pitcher Travis Wood as a friendly reminder to always put safety first.

When pitchers and catchers arrived at spring training this week, Wood revealed to reporters that he suffered a nasty finger injury in a crossbow accident about a month ago. As Chris McCosky of the Detroit News notes, Wood said his right index finger (fortunately his non-throwing hand) was nearly snapped in two. What he has been left with four weeks later could give you nightmares.

Again, the injury was to Wood’s right hand, so it could have been a lot worse from a baseball perspective. Someone like this NFL star would probably tell Wood his injury is nothing, but that whole push pin thing doesn’t look natural.
