I don'T Think abouT The injuries, jusT The game. I worked all summer long: you can'T expecT me To auiT jusT be- cause of an injury, explains Rose. This year alone on The TooTball Team There have been Two con- cussions, Two Torn knee liga- menTs, Two dislocaTed shoulders, rupTured disks, bone chips on a knee, cracked ribs, and a wide varieTy of minor injuries.
