from
Wikipedia
In the first inning, Williams caught a line drive by Ralph Kiner, slamming into the Comiskey Park scoreboard and breaking his left arm.
Williams played the rest of the game, and he even singled in a run to give the American League the lead in the eighth inning, but by that time Williams ' arm was a " balloon " and he was in great pain, so he left the game.
When Williams took his cast off, he could only extend the arm to within four inches of his right arm.
After the baseball season, Williams ' elbow hurt so much he considered retirement, since he thought he would never be able to hit again.
Tom Yawkey, the Red Sox owner, then sent Jack Fadden to Williams ' Florida home to talk to Williams.
