Joba Chamberlain addressed reporters on Tuesday to clarify misconceptions about the ankle injury he suffered recently. He suffered the serious injury playing with his five-year-old son last week at a children's play facility where the entire floor is made up of trampolines. "I didn't fall off anything," Chamblerlain said. "I just went to take off -- I was jumping from one to the other, because it's like big rectangles, and that's it. I went to jump, and Karter was right behind me, and I jumped, and I felt something go. "As soon as I landed, not unconsciously, I grabbed my leg and then I looked and I was like, 'Oh, that's not the way it should be facing.'" Chamberlain denied reports he suffered significant blood loss, and that his life was ever in danger. "I didn't lose a lot of blood, contrary to what people wrote and what people read," the right-hander said. "It wasn't life-threatening. I wasn't planning on losing my foot. That was it." "I knew there wasn't a lot (of information) that you guys had out there when it happened. But it's one of those things that bothers me, too, that people are calling me and asking if it's life-threatening and if I'm gonna lose my foot. "I know there wasn't a lot out there, I get that. But also, on the other hand, you've gotta put yourself in my situation, if that was you and your family was out there."
