Pepper Martin Injured. Cardinals Lose Star to Knee Ligament
Pepper Martin suffered a torn knee ligament after sliding into third base in the fourth inning against Cincinnati. He left the game, limped home on a play by Don Gutierrez, and was replaced in right field by Stan Boragaray. Club physician Dr. Robert Hyland said the injury could sideline him indefinitely. Martin had only recently returned from a prior throwing-arm injury after Don Padgett collided with the wall chasing a foul ball.
