Ron B. wrote, in part: Which year did Kubek get injured? What that in 1962? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony got called up to active duty right after the World Series in '61. His first week in the Army, during a game of touch football, he was upended while going for a pass. He actually broke his neck, but didn't get any medical help. It wasn't until 1965, after some tests for his back trouble at the Mayo Clinic, that he learned the extent of his injuries. The doctors warned him that any abrupt movement, or a head-first slide could paralyze him, so he retired at age 29. He was only in 45 games in 1962, but that was because of his Army service. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Wade Didn't he get hit in the throat with a ground ball once? It may have been during a world series. Ron |
