Hartnett Key to Cubs Hopes Despite Wrist Injury
Gabby Hartnett, the Cubs veteran catcher, has been sidelined with a bruised left wrist since last Saturday. At 37, he aims to catch 100 games this season to keep Chicago’s pennant hopes alive, seeking to break Ray Schalk’s 12 season record for 100-game seasons. His absence leaves Ken O’Dea and Bob Garback to fill behind the plate, with Garback showing promise but lacking experience.
