big toe

Foot injuries are not uncommon with fast bowlers and many cut holes in their boots to prevent issues, though that is usually to protect the big toe.

Kershaw then walked off the mound and was put on the injured list with a bone spur on his left big toe.

He cut a hole in his sock large enough for his big toe to stick through.

This individual also had a slightly more flexible big toe, which bent away from the second toe more than in living humans.

In a start against the Arizona Diamondbacks, a bone spur on Kershaw’s right big toe flared up so bad he was forced to leave the game in the second inning.
