The Board denied the petition, affirming the WCJ's use of Occupational Group 493 for the applicant's duties as a baseball coach, validating the admission of Dr. Einbund's reports due to the defendant's denial of liability and lack of timely objection, and upholding the rejection of apportionment opinions for failing to adequately explain the 'how and why' of non-industrial factors as required by legal standards.
