Be honest, you figured
Chris Sale's "stomach illness" was some kind of intestinal bug, right? Hey, we've all had that—it is
no fun. Well, this is the Red Sox, folks—so
nothing is what it seems. In fact, Sale admitted today that
the cause of his problem was an 'irritated' belly-button ring. You heard it right—
an irritated belly-button ring. Hey, he's only 29 year old—so why wouldn't he have a typical Millennial appendage? Said the lanky lefty ace:
"I had irritation from a belly-button ring. Constantly taking it in and out caused irritation. Doctors and nurses at MGH (Massachusetts General Hospital) were awesome. Things happen. You handle them. And keep moving forward." Folks, you just can't make this stuff up!
