Avocados are supposed to be good for you and have certainly been riding a new high on the trendy food train recently. But avocados are getting a bad name today as baseball teams open up spring training. Micah Johnson of the Los Angeles Dodgers needed to get stictches after an unfortunate battle with an avocado pit.
1st injury of spring: #Dodgers Micah Johnson needed stitches in left hand. Mishap trying to remove avocado pit. Should heal in a week.

Let that be a warning to us all. Avocados are not to be messed with. No word on whether or not Johnson will have to miss any time as a result of this bizarre injury, but he certainly is setting the bar high for the strangest injuries of the 2016 baseball season.
