Shoulder surgery.

Extreme major bummer. Lee’s a great gamer. Or, will be next year.

Call for SF to pad them walls.

1. Lee was the only excitement in the outfield ...

Yastrzemski, Slater, Conforto ...



Yep: "Extreme major bummer"

[usonian]

2. Yaz has made some excellent plays. And so did Mattos -- made a catch similar to Lee's

but he kept his shoulder intact. Looked good on radio.

Going to miss Lee.

[Auggie]

3. Yes. I should have rephrased that better ...

the only excitement, of starting outfielders, at the plate.

Yaz and Slater play good defense.

[usonian]

4. Not that I'm biased.

I grew up in Boston, where grandfather Yaz ruled.

Who else remembers "Big Yaz Bread"?

And with the 49ers drafting Piersall, well, read the story of Jim Piersall (CF)
He wrote a book with Al Hirshberg ( Fear Strikes Out: The Jim Piersall Story) which led to a movie.

I didn't think that Anthony Perkins looked like Jim.

Go to go. The game is starting, with the Star Spangled Banner played on Koto.

5. SF Giants' Jung Hood Lee Out for the Season Following Shoulder Surgery

It's a major setback for the San Francisco Giants as Jung Oho Lee is out for the season due to shoulder surgery. This is an extreme major bummer for the team and fans alike. Lee is known for his great gaming skills and was expected to make significant contributions. While he will be sorely missed this season, there’s optimism that he will be back stronger next year. In light of this injury, there’s a growing call for the Giants to consider padding their walls to help prevent future injuries of this nature.
