"He (Art Lopatka) was pitching batting practice, and he was hit by a line drive off the bat of Del Ennis. I guess they didn't provide the right medical service for the players because they weren't millionaires back then. The injury was on his pitching hand, so he was never able to come back." - Arthur Lopatka Jr. in the Chicago Sun-Times (Larry Finley, 03/16/2007)
