Emery looked very tired when small, cramped quarters of the visitors' dressing room - at aged r c, Ponce ,de Leon baseball park in Atlanta lie was just ending a 30- day 'staS , on the disabled .list and was anxious to rejoin 'his Rochester teammates in their battle to stay out; of the Inter national League basement. ~• I had gone to the game to see. Emery, a former pitcher and firSt baseman for Penn State, play firit - base for Rochester. But Emery is either one of the most brittle or unlucky people alive. • He had been hit in the hand with.a pitched ball that . broke a ouple of bones .and put the a • iable 'guy . on' the sidelines again. It was the third straight year that Emery had beeft injured. - IN 1961 he broke his thumb while playing for.chatta nooga - of-the Southern Association and the year before that it was aileg injury. - - , 1 i .
