Sports Take a Toll on Knees

It would be strange to think that even a Yankees’ hater could want Mariano Rivera’s career to end with a freak  a torn right ACL that he suffered while shagging fly balls during batting practice. See the story here. It seems that sports are the nemesis of knees. Even professionals are not immune.  Female athletes  are 5 times more likely to injure their ACL than the male athlete (participating in intensive leg use sports).
