Random questions circa 2006

[brew522]

Is there a way to find out which positions Bill Hall played the most during his tenure? Basically, I'm looking for a breakdown of games played at 3b/ss/2b etc.

 

Also, this may seem morbid, but is there a video of the play where Corey Koskie got his concussion? I am in a bet with someone who insists it was a dramatic play, but I know it was an innocuous play at 3rd.

 

Thank you!

It sounds almost funny now, but there was nothing funny about what Koskie was going through after he suffered a concussion during a Major League baseball game.

“Headache, nausea, dizziness — you just kind of go down the chain. I had it all,” said Koskie.

Koskie was playing third base for the Milwaukee Brewers when he chased a little flare. He dove and landed awkwardly.

“I just look at the film today … and I think, how could I have gotten hurt from that one?”

But hurt he was — so much so that it ended his career.

Friday Koskie spoke to a group of more than 700 athletic trainers at the Hilton in Minneapolis for their national symposium. He told them about the injury, and the three plus years it took for him to recover.

Yes, definitely not funny, I feel i remember a story posted here about koskie being at a gas station and being lost, unable to say where he needed to be?

That one play seemed innocuous, but with his history as a hockey player, he likely had experienced brain trauma (up to and including concussions) in the past. Once you've had one or two, you're more susceptible to future ones. Justin Morneau has had similar problems in the past. It's a real shame, as both guys lost a lot of their careers due to brain trauma.
