Not being good enough to throw pitches beyond sandlot ruined my pitching arm.. Other than that I coulda been someone.. I could throw a lot of pitches, curves, knuckler, screw ball, etc, but my fastball couldn't dent warm butter.. So much for the big leagues, eh?
The last game I pitched in was in Job Corps against lumber jacks in Montana.. Everything went great right up until that moment every pitch was like me putting the ball on a T then watching them hit em over the other side of the mountain.. Those curvyish pitches fool people who can't hit a fastball, but once your best curve is straighter than an arrow there's not much left.. lol
