Almora breaks hamate bone

[Clem Fandango]

For some reason I always remembered Sosa hitting his 40th HR after he had broken his hand. He did in fact bat twice after getting hit by the pitch, but did not reach base either time. He hit his 40th the day before.

 

IIRC on the WGN broadcast intro that day they did a mashup of each of his home runs with a big "40" scrolling across the screen.

Almora is having the bone removed(doesn't really serve a purpose), according to Bruce. Asked if he follows Almora on Twitter, Sveums' response: You guys know I don't twit.

Although I don't remember this my mom tells the story about how we got home from school the day after his hand was broken and she told my brother and me that Sammy was out for the rest of the year and we both cried (7 and 8 years old at the time).

Almora just tweeted his surgery was a success. That was quick.
