This isgood news for you non-elite weekend atheletes....Now it's ok to goahead and try to beat out that bunt, stretch that long single to adouble. Go ahead and slide into home. Tear a tendon in a touch footballgame?

Now you can be treated with a new procedure called forshort PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, in which platelets that are takenfrom your body is stored and when injured, injected directly into thewounded area and be back on the diamond in perhaps one or two weeks andnot miss that all important losers buy the beer game.

Thisprocedure is new and being used with success in football and baseballplayers. It still has a way to go in being a certified method but sofar the results are being praised by those players who have beentreated with it. Such as the Steelers Polamalu and Ward who had a grade2 MCL strain which is a 4-6 week recovery and he was back in two weeksto make tow catches in the Super Bowl.

So light that cigar, pop that beer, get that injection and go out there and steal 2nd.
