Denney's luck

In the past year, Indians pitcher Kyle Denney is having a run of luck you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.
Last September, he was made to dress in a cheerleader outfit as part of a rookie hazing ritual. Riding to the Kansas City airport on the team bus, still dressed in the outfit, he was shot in the leg. Nobody yet knows where the bullet was shot from, only that it entered the bus at a low angle and flew under several seats before it struck Denney.
The wound was all but superficial, the bullet popped right out of his leg, and the cheerleader outfit made the whole incident kind of comical, at least as comical as a shooting can be.
But no one is laughing at Denney's latest misfortune.
While on the mound for Buffalo Sunday, Denney turned his head but couldn't dodge a line drive hit by Joey Gathright of the Durham Bulls. The ball struck Denney behind the right ear, fracturing his skull in two places. He was rushed to the hospital in Buffalo, and is reportedly to be released today.
Denney also sustained a ruptured ear drum and cerebral contusion in the incident. He was placed on the disabled list. Nobody in the Bisons organization has set a timetable for Denney's return.
