I am trying to find a piece of information. Who was the safety for the San Francisco 49'ers who lost half a finger during a NFL game and kept on playing? I believe he is now in the NFL Hall of Fame.......but his name I can't recall.

 I'm happy to help you find the information you're looking for! The NFL player you're thinking of is safety Ronnie Lott. During a game in 1985, Lott suffered a severe injury to his left pinky finger when he was tackled by a defender. The finger was badly injured and had to be amputated above the knuckle. Despite the injury, Lott refused to leave the game and continued to play with a heavily bandaged finger. He finished the game and helped the 49ers secure a victory. Lott was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000.
