Looks like Daric Barton decided to take a dip... and not in average.
Athletics placed first baseman Daric Barton on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 14, with a neck strain.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Barton was hurt when he dived into a too-shallow swimming pool over the All-Star break. He ended up with six staples in his head, but the A's were still hoping he'd be ready to go this weekend. Now they'll get by with Wes Bankston and Jack Hannahan at first base for a couple of weeks.
My favorites always gonna be Glenn Allen Hill dreaming of spiders, and falling through a glass table.
