Repack Haiku #394 (Dale Sveum)

Shot by Robin Yount
During a quail hunting trip
Small ear injury
 
1989 Donruss #146 Dale Sveum

Sveum had just finished his first season as manager of the Chicago Cubs when he went hunting with the Hall of Famer. Yount's errant shot struck Sveum in the right ear, and the two friends actually laughed it off.

  1. Wow. That's crazy. It's a good thing the injury wasn't too serious.

  2. Glad it wasn't worse. I'm always thinking about what are stories I'd share with my grandkids (event though I don't even have kids). If I was Sveum... this would be one of them :D.
