What is interesting about this is that just a about a week ago, a tweet went out about how Vaughn was bitten by a scorpion while playing in Arizona. (The following image is not easy on the eyes, so be warned.)

The truth behind the bite was that Vaughn punked his agent into thinking that he indeed was bitten when in reality he ran into a wall.
@sugarfreeCV got the best of me, punked me with the scorpion bite! Ran into a wall, he’s ok, in lineup tonight. #GotHeem #payback!!!!

Vaughn’s reaction to his agent’s initial tweet was kind of comical and at the same time a lesson learned when sending info through social media.
was informed i was stung by a scorpion… not true.. a joke i played on my agent went bad as i didnt know he was gonna tweet it!

Great humor between a player and his agent which shows the great relationship they share.
Overall in 47 at bats, Vaughn is leading the league with 3 triples, he is batting .255/.340/.447 and also has a .786 OPS. Despite a collision with the wall, his performance is not being effected, which is a good sign and something for him to build on for 2014.
