Injuries and Explanation for Missed Playing Time SABR member Cecilia Tan uncovered this nugget from the July 29, 1911 edition of the Chicago Tribune:
"Pitcher Walter Nagel of the Boston Americans... is taking Christian Science treatment for his arm. Nagel has been troubled with a bothersome wing ever since joining the Red Sox, and upon the return of the Red Sox to this city, without letting any of his teammates know of his decision, determined to try out the treatment. He is making daily visits to one of the most eminent Christian Science practitioners. Harry Porter, the great high jumper and holder of many records, is a Scientist, and attributes to Christian Science much of his success."
