Didn't Kramer play his first few years in the NFL with a huge wood splinter in his side that he didn't know about? I think he got injured when he was knocked up against a fence rail on his ranch where he grew up...

...On the other hand, maybe I'm confusing Kramer with Lucas McCain from the old "Rifleman" TV series.
