Get your nose out of that spreadsheet, and watch, no make that PLAY, a game
In professional sports, this little wrinkle is the purview of hockey goalies:
In what sounds like something out of a movie at first, Brett Leonhardt, the team site’s Web producer from Waterloo, Ontario, was asked by GM George McPhee to suit up for the Capitals game because goaltender Jose Theodore had a hip flexor injury during the team’s morning practice and third-string goalie Simeon Varlamov had a delayed flight and couldn’t arrive for the beginning of the game. So, the Capitals were granted permission from the NHL to dress three goaltenders for the game, and the rest is history.... But, sadly, his career was short-lived, as Varlamov was dressed and ready about 10 minutes into the game.
