title: Medical Problems on a Professional Baseball Team.
abstract: In brief: This study presents a two-season analysis of medical problems on a class A professional baseball team. On the average, one or two problems were recorded per game. Fewer injuries-but more illnesses-occurred at the ginning and end of the season. Pitchers, catchers, second basemen, and right fielders had the most injuries, and musculoskeletal problems accounted for 86.4% of all injuries. Of the 382 new injuries, 82.2% were treated by the gainer, 13.1% by the team physician, and 4.7% by specialists. The data suggest hat most problems were handled adequately by the team trainer and a Primary care physician.
