In the You Can Say That Again Department, from an article about the state of the fancy new Metrodome Turf:

Torii Hunter, the Twins' $6.5 million star outfielder, says the soft turf caused him to strain his hamstring as he was running the bases during an April 6 game against Cleveland. He is on the 15-day disabled list...

..."It's hard to say with certainty how Torii might have hurt his hamstring," said Steve Maki, the commission's director of facilities and engineering. "He can blame the turf. As far as I know, that field is ready to go. Let's hope the injury is an anomaly."
