Robin Yount Shot Cubs Manager Dale Sveum in the Ear
Baseball hall of famer Robin Yount shot his former teammate, Cubs manager Dale Sveum, in the ear during a hunting accident. The two were hunting quail in Arizona. He was not hurt.
“The bird was in front of him and I was about 50 yards up on a hill,” Sveum said Tuesday at baseball’s winter meetings in Nashville. “He got the bird up and lost track of where I was. He pulled the trigger and was like, ‘Uh, oh.’”
Sveum said it was a bloody scene, but was not hurt.
“I got drilled with pellets in the back and then one stuck in the ear,” he said.

Sveum was hit in the back of the right ear by the spray pattern from a six-shot.
Amateurs. Six shot for quail? Were they planning on having shredded quail soup for dinner?

maybe arizona quail are really big?
I went quail hunting once, a long time ago. We shot more hiding on the ground than flying. They’re super easy to clean, and crazy delicious.

Just pull the breasts apart. I love them. Too bad it was 65 degrees when I went up to the in-laws over Thanksgiving. Didn’t see a one. Did snag a pheasant. It is pretty shitty hunting again this year. Drought. High temps. Way depleted bird populations.
