Hal's left-ankle injury backstory (age 15, Atlanta Easter Bowl)
texture · ~Easter YDPAH (2008) recalled
- When: UNDATED ("at fifteen," recalled) — Easter at age 15 computes to ~April YDPAH (2008) under the June-1992 ruling
- What: In a stop-and-reverse move Hal "tore all the soft left-ankle tissue he then owned, at fifteen, in his ankle, at Atlanta's Easter Bowl, in the third round, which he was losing anyway." He now drills on that ankle in two bandages plus a lightweight Air-Stirrup brace "that looks a bit like a medieval torture-implement," is chronically "ankle-conscious," and "shaves [the ankle] way more often than his upper lip." The recurring injury that Schtitt needles him about ("Mr. consciousness of ankle Incandenza").
