A patient, seeking treatment for a sore neck, is asked by a doctor whether the injury was work-related. In a flashback, it’s revealed that the patient is actually a baseball pitcher. We then learn that Nelson Cruz, holder of the Mariners team record for home runs by a designated hitter, is responsible for the patient’s whiplash. The pitcher whipped his neck back watching Cruz hit a majestic homer off of him.
