Former MLB<\/a> player and Philadelphia Phillies announcer Ben Davis had a harrowing experience with a chainsaw, but didn\u2019t go to the hospital.<\/p>\n

Davis, 48, said that he cut himself to the bone when cutting through trees that had fallen during a snowfall. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“It was only about three inches long, but it went to the bone,” Davis said during an appearance on SportsRadio 94WIP.<\/a><\/p>\n

To the astonishment of the hosts, Davis also revealed he had, at the time, not gone to the hospital to be treated.<\/p>\n

“I got Steri-Strips holding it together and a big bandage on top with some Neosporin,” Davis said. “It needs stitches, but I\u2019m OK. I\u2019m fine. I got a bandage on it. I do have to keep it straight because every time I bend it, it opens up even more.”<\/p>\n

Davis, who lives in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, said that the area he lives in has a lot of white pine trees and two of them fell in a blizzard. He said he cut the first of the two fallen trees, with no issues, and it was the second tree when the incident occurred.<\/p>\n

“I was just about done with the second one and there was a branch that went into the ground and I snipped it, and it came back, and the saw cut my kneecap,” Davis said.<\/p>\n

Davis was happy that his injury wasn\u2019t as bad as it could have been.<\/p>\n

“I am very, very fortunate. Last night, I was lying in bed with my wife, and she said, \u2018I\u2019m so sorry this happened to you.\u2019 And I said, \u2018I\u2019m actually thrilled this it is only as bad as it was.'”<\/p>\n

Davis played seven seasons in the big leagues. He spent four seasons with the San Diego Padres,<\/a> more than two seasons with the Seattle Mariners and part of a season with the Chicago White Sox.<\/p>\n

In 486 games, Davis had a .237 batting average with 38 home runs and 204 RBI.<\/p>\n

Last season was his 11th as a member of the Phillies<\/a> broadcast team, and he has been a studio analyst for NBC Sports Philadelphia\u2019s pre- and postgame shows.<\/p>\n
