He hit most of those home runs after a jaw-breaking collision a the plate trying to score in a game in mid-May. Playing with his jaw wired shut and only able to drink his meals through a straw for weeks, he was out of the lineup for just a few days. Sadly, Mr. Cerv died earlier this year, but his grit and determination continue to be an example for anyone, athlete or not. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
