Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 8 (UPI) -- Hall of Famer Enos "Country" Slaughter remained in critical condition Thursday after undergoing colon and stomach surgery over the last two weeks.
Slaughter, 86, has been in the intensive care unit at Duke University Medical Center since undergoing colon surgery on July 26. He also had an operation to repair perforated ulcers in his stomach on July 29.
Slaughter was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in June and has been undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
A 10-time All-Star, Slaughter played 13 of his 19 major league seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals and was a career .300 hitter. He joined the Cardinals in 1938 and, except for missing three years to serve in World War II, stayed in St. Louis until he was traded to the New York Yankees in 1954. He retired in 1959.
