Schiller in Hospital After Electrical Mishap Friday, November 11th , 2005 Tigers first baseman Bobby Schiller is recovering at a local hospital today and is reportedly in fair condition after suffering a severe electrical shock at his home yesterday. According to team officials Schiller, had been doing some remodeling in his basement when he was electrocuted by an exposed wire. An initial report late last night indicated Schiller was unconscious when an ambulance arrived and that he may have gone into cardiac arrest while being transported to the hospital, but that rumor could not be substantiated today. "Frankly, he's lucky to be alive," said teammate Bill Ross, who visited Schiller in the hospital this morning. "His doctors say his prognosis is very good, but he's gonna be out of commission for a little while." A hospital spokesman indicated that Schiller will likely be released tomorrow. However, team officials suggest it may be at least a week before he will be allowed to return to full activity. |
