James "Moose" Newall will be spending a couple of weeks on the sidelines after sustaining inflammed tendon damage to his right hand.
After a mere 1 hour 15 minutes in Bolton A&E Moose left with two prescriptions, a sick note and his upper dexter "hoof" strapped up.
"I don't recall ever knocking my hand because pretty much the whole day was spent either stood in the outfield or running the bases".
A fairly intense vibration was felt from the 33" bamboo bat from James' first hit of the day, but was soon dismissed as the shock waves were only a sensation that passed through the fingers.
On the cause of the injury Newall was nonplussed, remarking, "...only 3 balls came my way, 1 over my head and well over the boundary fence, 1 fell short and 1 which Yogi intercepted".
On what was a particularly cold windy day, plenty of warm-up running, stretching and throwing was done prior to the double header commencing, especially as it was also the first games of the season.
When asked about the day's winter-like weather James replied, "I thought moose habitat was generally in the far northern hemisphere, with snow covered terrain, but that was one cold day!".
