Munger’s low pitch nearly hits Texas League star in 1938 game
In a 1938 Tulsa game, Cardinals pitcher Stan Schino hit by a low pitch nearly killed him as he fielded and then continued play after briefly leaving. He survived after hospital X rays and carried the ball’s stitched chest imprint as a memento. The incident underscores dangers of low pitching. Otis Clark, Toledo, was released to Little Rock after a rough 1934 season with the Hens.
