Something went wrong with my right arm. I no longer could throw hard, and it hurt like the dickens every time I threw.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I flailed my arm in a throwing motion before I could even walk.
I throw as hard as I can when I think I have to throw as hard as I can.
Sooner or later the arm goes bad. It has to... Sooner or later you have to start pitching in pain.
I have had shoulder injuries in the past, but usually it's from training.
There is no way to have a strong arm if you don't throw enough.
It took me a few years to realize that throwing harder wasn't always better.
I spent a whole year when I was injured just trying to get my arm back to the point where I could hit a tennis ball for more than 30 minutes a day. I'd hit for 15 minutes and it would feel as if my arm was going to fall off.
I hurt my left knee playing left tackle. I had surgery on my right knee.
My arm came back just as quickly as it went sore on me in 1915. I awoke one morning and learned I could throw without pain again.
My dad taught me really early so I could take a lot of pressure off my elbow. Because the way I throw it, it doesn't crank up my elbow like everyone else's curveballs.
