BBQ Too Hot to Handle for Thomas Sunday, December 12th, 2038 Silver Sox shortstop Melvin Thomas required medical attention yesterday after severely burning himself while barbecuing at his home. Thomas suffered first and second degree burns when a flame from the grill he was using suddenly shot up his right arm. "It was a pretty scary scene," said teammate Julián Moreno, who was with Thomas when the accident occurred. "I thought it was going to totally engulf him for a moment." The fire also singed Melvin Thomas's hair and eyebrows, but luckily failed to ignite the shirt he was wearing at the time. "It honestly could have been much worse," said Moreno. The injury will reportedly keep Thomas out of action for anywhere from 3 weeks up to a month, but doctors expect the burns to fully heal. |
