Kyle Hudson hoping that broken hand is just temporary setback

Quote: Mattoon’s Kyle Hudson is looking to be back playing baseball in six weeks after suffering a broken hand 11 games into his professional career. Hudson broke his right hand sliding into second base, his fourth stolen base of the year with the Baltimore Orioles’ Class A Aberdeen IronBirds. “I had a broken left hand in my junior year of high school in football and it kind of felt the same way,” Hudson said. Quote: Regardless, the wide receiver/punt returner does not plan to use his final year of college eligibility with Illinois’ football team, which he could still do while going pro in baseball. “No, I’m not going back,” the former four-sport All-Big 12 Conference high school athlete said. “I already talked to coach (Ron) Zook and he understood. I feel my future is in baseball.” http://www.jg-tc.com/articles/2008/0...1942441176.txt
