Jhonny Peralta Missed Spring Training Game Because of Soup

Major leaguers haven't exactly established themselves as iron men this spring. They have injured themselves in the following ways: shoveling snow, scaring their kids, wrestling with their dog and throwing out their gum.

Maybe it's all a part of learning how to deal with today's players, many of whom are very selfish. That may not apply to Peralta, who is decidedly un-shellfish. (We're here all week, folks; try the veal.)
