 | Sunday, April 14th, 1940: Joe Unknown Out for Season
Durham reliever Joe Unknown could miss the remainder of the season because of a herniated disc. He exited yesterday's Little River-Academy game after injuring himself while throwing a pitch. The original diagnosis said Unknown would be out 11-12 months. Later on his doctors said he could be out even longer.
"He's done," his manager commented at the BNN press conference. "It's a season-ending injury, but it could have been worse. It's not the worst-case scenario, so we're happy about that."
