BBQ Too Hot to Handle for Johnson Sunday, December 13th, 1992 Braves first baseman Howard Johnson required medical attention yesterday after severely burning himself while barbecuing at his home. Johnson suffered first and second degree burns when a flame from the grill he was using suddenly shot up his right arm. "It was a pretty scary scene," said teammate Marquis Grissom, who was with Johnson when the accident occurred. "I thought it was going to totally engulf him for a moment." The fire also singed Howard Johnson's hair and eyebrows, but luckily failed to ignite the shirt he was wearing at the time. "It honestly could have been much worse," said Grissom. The injury will reportedly keep Johnson out of action for anywhere from 3 weeks up to a month, but doctors expect the burns to fully heal. |
