PrintFrom a tweet from Mark Bowman today regarding Atlanta Braves pitcher Tommy Hanson:
Yikes! Bowman followed up with tweets saying that Hanson blew a tire and bumped his head. Hanson was being checked for a concussion at the hospital, but no word yet on the results of those evaluations.
UPDATE 2pm:
Tommy Hanson's cyborg alter ego has responded thusly:
It is not completely known whether Cyborg Tommy Hanson is in any way affiliated with the actual Tommy Hanson.

Okay, the headline freaked me out
Perhaps it would do to dial it down. When I heard “auto accident,” I saw “Guy drives through a stoplight and T-Bones him.” This sounds minor enough. Even if it’s a concussion, he can just take 10 days and he should be fine, and it might not even be a concussion.
The only thing worth checking is that sometimes you can get whiplash and not immediately notice the symptoms. Hopefully they’ll check him out all right after he visits the hospital.
Braves will be fine. I'm not worried.

Alcohol
He’s seen out at the Buckhead bars quite often, so I hope this wasn’t alcohol related. Sounds a little fishy though. Fredi said there was no police report, “He just came around the corner a bit too hot”.
I doubt it...
Considering it was 7 am on the first day of ST for pitchers…
ya never know..mantle used to have a bloody marry or two before a game in his prime..
can u imagine having a bloody marry, then playing in 95-100 degree weather in an old wool or thick cotton uniform? ughhhhh makes me nauseous thinking bout it..

I’m going out on a limb and saying it wasn’t alcohol related.

I agree. It’s probably just the case of falling asleep behind the wheel and not getting used to the earliness of having to start Spring Training.

I doubt that too.
He probably just wasn’t paying close enough attention.

He was probably updating facebook.

I doubt it was alcohol related as well, but the heavy drinking is not a rumor; he likes to drink. Not saying I know whether or not he has a problem, but it’s something the organization should certainly investigate when considering any contract extension/arb buyout.
Let’s hope he takes the High Road, rather than the Lowe Road.

Cyborg gives another "update" (sorry, I don't know how to post the actual tweet)
“CITY ORLANDO SCIENTIST DIAGNOSTICS REVEAL NO EXOSKELETON DAMAGE BUT REQUIRE 2ND OPINION AS DR MAY HAVE RECEIVED DEGREES AT UNIV OF FLORIDA”
Hopefully this is either Hanson or someone who got legit information about him. Last thing we need is a pitcher going down via freak accident.
I doubt it's anyone with actual access.
But it is pretty funny.
