these are great words of advice, my son will have surgery this Fri. (Sep 7th) with Dr. Andrews. My son is a senior in high school, so we already know that he will not be pitching or playing a position this year. The first Dr. that we spoke to said he could possibly hit, but I want something definite. I'm sure Dr. Andrews will let us know something Fri. just didn't know if somebody else had already been thru this.
