They weren’t there but it was said you could hear it shatter from a hundred feet away. He told his roommate that told his best friend that told my uncle who told me he could feel the little shards of bone in there just grindin’ around and around and it hurt somethin’ awful. The docs filleted that shoulder open and laid the skin back and started in with their drills putting in screws and steel plates. Muscles and tendons all exposed and twitchin’ around, you could even see his lungs past all the gristle and whatnot. Bone dust filled the air and blood was splashing all around, it was really something, it’s been said he has scars all over back there.

Apparently it healed in about 9 weeks but it’s never been the same. Now, he’s was no professional player or anything, but he played in the rec league and was a helluva center fielder, had a wicked powerful arm with laser accuracy and the sweetest swing you ever saw. Just a helluva a player. He was never the same again, had a little choppy swing after and that broken humerus was just never the same. Tightened his shoulder right up.

I realize that I don’t know the exact extent of Hamilton’s injury or if it’s even the same and I’m no doctor but I feel the need to straighten you guys out with the facts. So I don’t hold out much hope for Hamilton, I’m afraid his career is over. You guys outta just right him off, take it from me and that old roommate of a friend of my Uncles.
