How do you chip a tooth signing an autograph?
"He will not coddle them. Nolan Ryan doesn’t coddle." - Jeff Passan
That was my question.
Maybe someone tossed him a ball he wasn’t expecting.
Or he grinds his teeth from concentration while he’s signing.
Pulling a pen cap off with your mouth

I bet you've signed your share of autographs, Mr. Nicholson.
It's baseball. You don't always get what you want, and you don't always want what you get. --Ed Coffin
Only thing I could think of too
Still seems like an odd thing to happen
"He will not coddle them. Nolan Ryan doesn’t coddle." - Jeff Passan
maybe he tried to pull a pen cap off
but it was actually a metal click pen
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
I think
his past demons produce brittle enamel. I wonder if he’s replaced any of his teeth yet. Although it is a strange injury, I’m sure playing professional baseball would be more of a risk than signing autographs.
"I saw your act, just didn't make it for me. Just a lot of fluff."
The way he's accepted responsibility,
I’m sure he’d say he deserves a little giggle. So don’t feel too bad. :)
"I saw your act, just didn't make it for me. Just a lot of fluff."
We have our answer
According to Rangers Executive VP of Communications John Blake (and, again, it’s great to have Blake back with the Rangers after spending some time in Boston with the Red Sox) tried to explain to me how Josh Hamilton chipped a tooth signing autographs.
It turns out that Hamilton was trying to hold onto a can (something he was drinking) with his teeth while signing an autograph for an excited fan when his tooth was chipped. Blake wasn’t sure if it was a front tooth or what, but Hamilton is supposed to see a dentist about it.
It’s amazing the injuries players can get into at spring training. (My guess was Hamilton chipped his tooth by grabbing the top off a marker or something, but that’s apparently not the case). Don’t worry, he should be fine.

How's this for a quick write-up
Dallas Morning News Rangers coverage died on January 31, 2009, in Arlington, Texas, at the age of 36.
Services were held immediately at Lone Star Ball with Adam J. Morris offering words of comfort. Casket bearers were Jeff Wilson, Anthony Andro, Evan Grant, Richard Durrett and Michael J. Hindman. Honorary casket bearers were Jean-Jacque Taylor, Tim Cowlishaw and Kevin Sherrington.
Dallas Morning News Rangers coverage was born in Arlington in 1972. It was united in marriage with the Dallas Morning News Rangers blog (also known as "Seamheads"), and they enjoyed a nice life together.
Survivors include Fort Worth Star Telegram Rangers coverage, D Magazine Rangers coverage, USA Today Rangers coverage, Fox Sports Rangers coverage, ESPN Rangers coverage, MLB Network Rangers coverage and many many friends.

That was funny
Nadel “Millwood is listed at 6-3 230 and he’s been listed at that for a while. Millwood said he actually weighs 230 this year.”
I laughed long and hard at that in my car.
Long enough that I stopped when I realized, “Any of my friends who heard me right now would be telling me, ‘Rachel, it’s not THAT funny.’”

What the hell happened to Millwood?!?
"You can have such a massive impact on a game even when you're not getting ground balls hit at you." - Michael Young
well
our Ace didn’t have his best stuff today, and he left what he did have up in the zone.
But our new ace, Kris Benson, looked good…so no worries.
Heh
Actually, I think I’m almost relieved Millwood’s the one that gave up 12 hits and 10 runs – if those had been interspersed among 2 or 3 young guys it would’ve been really discouraging.

with the exception of Millwood’s final line making small children cry, the team has looked (or sounded) pretty good. Boggs is on fire, Teagarden hit a big 3 run HR, and Golson has gone 1-2 with a BB and an OF assist.
