van Ginderen in Hospital After Electrical Mishap Monday, December 23rd, 2024 BC shortstop Paolo van Ginderen 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 van Ginderen, had been doing some remodeling in his basement when he was electrocuted by an exposed wire. An initial report late last night indicated van Ginderen 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 Jesús Medina, who visited van Ginderen 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 van Ginderen 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. |
