I hope your surgery is successful Geo
[QUOTE=GeoFisher;566559]Yea......actually , I prob could not throw 80mph any longer........Especially since I'm headed for shoulder surgery this year so I can paddle in Canada again :) .[/QUOTE]
Good luck with the surgery. I would not wish a shoulder injury on anyone. I pooped out on a heart stress test on a treadmill at my cardiologist office and almost fell off the treadmill when he would not shut the **** thing off. I tried to jump off the thing but failed and fell down on my right knee. I was barely hanging on with my right hand only and pulled my shoulder pretty bad. I had what they called a Frozen shoulder and had to get cortisone shots and then underwent physical therapy to fix a torn cartilage in my right shoulder.
Then a year later I got a adult 65+ flu shot in my left shoulder and got a bad reaction which made my left shoulder so sore I could barely move it. So I know what it's like to have sore shoulders.
Hang in there and best wishes for a successful operation and a full recovery.
I was a pitcher in Civic League when I was younger.

I didn't get any damage to my shoulder until much later in life. I stopped playing baseball when I was in about the 8 th grade. I didn't go out for the HS baseball team as I switched to swimming and diving and gave up baseball when I was a Freshman in HS. But I do remember when I was a Freshman in College I had not thrown a baseball in a long time. I was playing baseball pitch and catch in the alley behind my Frat house and I threw my arm out one afternoon. I had not thrown a baseball in many years and threw one too hard and my shoulder was sore for a week after that. One has to be careful and warm up before throwing when you get older.
