roothog66 posted:As an experiment. How many on here over the age of, let's say 40, had an arm injury as a youth or high school pitcher? If so, did you ever visit a doctor about it? If so, what was the prescribed treatment? And, did anyone ever follow that up with a trip to a specialist?
This times 100... No one ever went to the doctor for a sore arm. You just fought through it until the season ended. Ice and aspirin. Plus Icy Hot. Lots of icy hot. Every team I ever played on had a gallon of the stuff to help you get through a game.
Granted a BIG difference was that you played the spring season and legion ball than you were done until next spring.
