Excited. I just received a 1953 Elmer Lach card (below). Have you ever read the list of injuries that Lach suffered during his career? It's crazy. He had a fractured skull, a broken arm, two broken jaws which he played through, a fractured leg, the same cheekbone was shattered twice, a sliced foot, hundreds of stitches and seven broken noses. Lach retired after the 1954 season when a broken leg robbed him of his speed.
