 | Sunday, July 16th, 1950: Finley Career Ended by Injury The Ogden Wildcats clubhouse was subdued last night after Mark Finley was seriously injured during the game. Finley was taken to a local hospital for examination. This morning, doctors confirmed the preliminary diagnosis of a fractured skull. They said Finley will undergo surgery in the near future. This type of injury, they said, will require extensive rehabilitation. For all intents and purposes, his career in baseball is over. It remains to be seen how Finley's loss will affect the rest of the team. The Wildcats owner, when reached for comment, said he planned to visit Finley later today. "It is a sad day for us," he said, "We have lost a class individual. I hope that we can keep him in our organization as a coach or manager as soon as he recovers. Mark still has a lot to contribute to our baseball team." This year Finley is batting .237 with 70 hits, 2 home runs, 33 RBIs, 14 walks, .286 OBP and has scored 33 runs. |
