San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria has elected to have surgery on his broken left hand Andy Isabella Jersey , hoping that can speed his return to the field.

Longoria was injured Thursday when he was hit in the hand by a pitch from Miami’s Dan Straily. Longoria underwent an examination in Los Angeles on Saturday morning and said surgery was not required.

The procedure could improve his recovery time, he said.

”Hopefully soon after the All-Star break, I should be back,” Longoria said before the Giants played the Dodgers. ”It shouldn’t be too long before I can start the process of strengthening it. Once the incision heals, it’s pretty much pain tolerance.”

”It’s best to say six to eight weeks, but I have a hard time telling myself that http://www.cardinalscheapstore.com/zach-allen-jersey-cheap ,” Longoria said. ”I’ll definitely push for some time soon after the All-Star break.”

The surgery will be done Tuesday in Los Angeles by hand specialist Steven Shin and a permanent pin will be inserted in Longoria’s left hand.

The 32-year-old Longoria is batting .246 with 10 home runs in his first season with the Giants, and was tied for the team lead with 34 RBIs.

Longoria was a three-time All-Star in 10 seasons with Tampa Bay before being traded to the Giants last winter.

Earlier this month, we were treated to that one night a year when women actually want to watch football. The fiftieth Super Bowl in the history of the NFL was really nothing special. It was a defensive battle, and wasn't one sided like the 2014 game, but number fifty didn't stack up against last year's final minute end zone interception.The Carolina Panthers and victorious Denver Broncos put on a half decent show and four-time All-Pro outside linebacker Von Miller took the MVP award for his 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. Peyton Manning, widely considered to be one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the game Hakeem Butler Jersey , was below average in the game.For the most part, if you're getting into the Super Bowl, you're playing for a top tier team. Additionally, as the quarterback is (at least in modern football), the most important player on the field, only teams who have invested in solid field generals are making it to the big game http://www.bengalscheapstore.com/jonah-williams-jersey-cheap , with some notable exceptions.Plenty of quarterbacks such as Kerry Collins (XXXV), Craig Morton (XII) and Rich Gannon (XXXVII) rank among the most notorious quarterbacks to make the Super Bowl and absolutely abort the game, but what about those who make it, win it, but end up thanking their entire teams for covering their butts while they almost blow it? Here are the fifteen worst Super Bowl performances of quarterbacks who won.
