The WCAB affirmed jurisdiction, finding that the applicant's 59 games played in California created a sufficient connection for due process, despite most of his career being elsewhere. The Board distinguished this case from precedent where a single game was deemed insufficient contact. The petition for reconsideration was denied, as California has a legitimate interest in adjudicating injuries sustained within its borders.
