Professional athletes put their bodies on the line every single day.
These men are the definition of warriors.
Pain, injuries, suffering.
Those are all just standard parts of the job that these guys have to deal with.
Which is what happened to Phillies pitcher Matt Strahm earlier this week.
Matt Strahm suffered a gruesome left middle fingernail irritation.
The punch in of injury that would be completely debilitating to any ordinary man.
But Matt Strahm isn’t any ordinary man.
He’s a professional baseball pitcher.
These dudes are tough as nails, and they’re willing to fight through almost anything.
Maybe they won’t fight through a fingernail irritation right away.
But the fact that Matt Strahm is still attempting to be ready for Opening Day?
Let’s take a look at how Matt Strahm almost lost his fingernail completely.
That would put most folks into hospice care.
But not Matt Strahm.
Because Matt Strahm is a professional baseball player.
Sure, he had to miss a game after that horrific incident.
They don’t make ‘em any tougher than baseball players.
I’ll tell ya that much right now.
