 | BBQ Too Hot to Handle for Short
Saturday, October 27th, 2012: Capitals starting pitcher Pat Short required medical attention yesterday after severely burning himself while barbecuing at his home. Short 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 Jean Pierre, who was with Short when the accident occurred. "I thought it was going to totally engulf him for a moment." The fire also singed Pat Short'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 Pierre. The injury will reportedly keep Short out of action for anywhere from 3 weeks up to a month, but doctors expect the burns to fully heal.
