Summary:
Derrek Lee got injured while he was eating in the clubhouse right before a game. Derrek Lee was sitting down and eating while the chair that he was sitting on collapsed. Although he got a little bit hurt, he still went on and played the game, it was not a grave(pg.96) injury. The manager, Lou Piniella, took Derrek Lee out of the game after the third inning just for safety reasons, Derrek Lee is expected to be in the starting lineup for the Cubs next game. Luckily this is not one of the few freak accidents that have caused astringent(pg.59) damage to Cubs players in recent memory.
