Cochrane Given Even Chance To Survive After Bean Ball Injury
Detroit Tigers catcher manager Gordon Stanley Mickey Cochrane lies in St Elizabeths hospital with a skull fractured in three places from an accidental bean ball thrown by Irving Hadley of the New York Yankees. Doctors say infection risk and meningitis are possible but cerebral signs have improved. 48 hours will indicate recovery prospects. Cochrane, a star of 1934 and 1935 pennant teams, has been in baseball since 1923 rising from Dover to Portland to Philadelphia before joining Detroit in 1933.
