At the point when Chicago White Sox small time player Greg Shepard recollects his life changing games injury in 2000 where he rammed into the left centerfield wall pursuing a fly ball, his words are basic.
"The wall won."
The following morning, Shepard awakened for all intents and purposes incapacitated. "I was unable to lift my body up, turn my head or move my right arm," says Shepard. Normally, his better half at the time needed to rush him to the trauma center immediately. In any case, Shepard had something different as a primary concern.

The specialist prescribed a medical procedure to fix the harm in his neck from the impact, yet Shepard liked to stay with his bone and joint specialist.
