ST. LOUIS -- Hall of Famer Robin Yount spoke publicly for the first time Wednesday about an at-home accident that nearly cost him the use of his right hand.
Yount, an avid motorcyclist and mechanic who lives in the Phoenix area, was working in his garage in January when a large compressor fell on his hand and crushed it. Yount drove himself to the hospital, and later underwent extensive surgery for multiple broken bones.
He talked about the incident during a television interview with WTMJ's Lance Allan in Milwaukee, where Yount, the former Brewers star, was shooting promos for the Lakeshore Chinooks, a Northwoods League team of which he is part-owner.
