NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Chicago Cubs manager
Dale Sveum was accidentally hit in the ear with shrapnel while
hunting this offseason with Hall of Famer Robin Yount.
The
two were hunting quail in Arizona when Yount bagged a bird, but also
Sveum.
"The bird was in front of him and I was about 50
yards up on a hill," Sveum said Tuesday at baseball's winter
meetings. "He got the bird up and lost track of where I was. He
pulled the trigger and was like, 'Uh, oh.' "
Sveum was hit
in the back of the right ear by the spray pattern from a six-shot.
