Tejada got drilled on the wrist by a pitch last night. Knowing he couldn't play the full game, they started him anyways just to keep his streak of consecutive games alive. Tejada attempted to bunt in his only at-bat (from the #2 whole, where he's never been in his life), and then was immediately lifted for a PR after his fielder's choice bunt attempt went awry.
This wasn't an example of an athlete being a "gamer". This was taking one AB just to keep a streak alive which to me is now totally meaningless
