QUINCY, MA-- The Hammers issued a statement today concerning All-Star thirdbaseman Scott Logan, who had shoulder surgery in February, saying that he has received medical clearance to play tomorrow night against the Chefs.
The statement comes as a complete surpise as it was reported in February that Logan would miss the entire '08 season.
The statement said, ''The McInnis Carpentry Softball Club have been advised that Scott Logan has received unanimous medical clearance from outside specialists. He has also passed multiple physical examinations by team doctors and has been cleared to resume playing as early as tomorrow night. The organization is satisfied that he has received the best medical attention possible and has been assured that he is medically cleared to resume his playing career. Scott Logan has worked very hard throughout his rehabilitation to return to full health and has been assured by all who have examined him that he has a clean bill of health."
Edward G. McFarland, M.D., vice chairman of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Mass General and director of adult orthopedics in the Division of Sports Medicine and Shoulder Surgery said ''I have had the opportunity to care for Scotty since the day of his surgery four months ago and have closely monitored his rehabilitation and remarkably rapid rate of recovery, physically, Scott still has a way to go to perform physically at a very high level. Throwing will be his biggest challenge right now, as far as hitting.... he is completely back to normal."

You guys already grabbed a new 3rd baseman who's been doing an admirable job. Maybe THE GAME can move to catcher.
THE GAME = Wally Pipp
Maybe the Game could move behind the plate. He'd be number 1 there as well. You see-it doesn't matter where the Game is-he will do whatever it takes to help make his team better. But remember this-the Game doesn't just do an admirable job-he does an exceptional job. Beware-The Game is back!!!
