From John Dalys hand injury that required super glue to Brian Grieses collision with his dog, Kidzworld takes a look at some of the freakiest sports injuries in 2002.

You wouldn't think crossing a street or closing a bathroom door would be a dangerous activity for a pro athlete. Well, think again. Kidzworld looks at some of this year's freakiest injuries.

12002 baseball season end a few weeks early after he accidently slammed a bathroom door against his foot. Scott's inability to get his foot out of the way of the door left him with two broken toes and a place on the disabled list.

1golf at the Dutch Open in July, 2002, a piece of glass which was embedded in his hand worked its way out, causing John's hand to begin seriously bleeding. Instead of going to a doctor to get stitches (the treatment which Kidzworld recommends,) John Daly squirted superglue on his hand to seal the wound. Did John spend the afternoon sniffing super glue when he came up with this idea? "I don't care if it's unwise medically," Daly said. "I'm not going to watch it bleed." Kids, don't try this at home.
