Hoskins Injured While Installing Fixture at Home
Friday, March 26th , 1976
Boston reliever and novice do-it-yourselfer Mike Hoskins will miss up to a week of action after suffering a thumb contusion while attempting to install a bathroom fixture. "I never was much of a handyman," joked Hoskins. "I'm not sure what I was thinking." According to Hoskins, he was preparing to install a new sink in his guest bathroom when the fixture slipped and mashed his right thumb. "Yeah, it was probably even more painful than it sounds. I was afraid my entire hand was broken for a moment. Luckily, the x-rays came back negative and I should be back in about a week."
