His dad and his coach thought they were looking out for him
"Christ, Billy, I didn't get a blowjob until junior year of college, and she must've been 250, if she was a pound. Being a stud at these precious years is irreplaceable! What I wouldn't have given!"
Just be glad modern medicine has created this "Tommy John Surgery". The Czars used to slaughter orphans, to satisfy their hunger for the ligaments of boys.
Sure, but when you teach youngsters to fire the ball out of ones rectum, like a cannon-- all the sudden you're the one who's "dangerously unfit" and "insane."
a damn 10 year old SHOULD NOT be throwing a curve ball, it wears out their arms. I had friends growing up whose dad's would teach them a curve ball. and ruin their arm 4 years later.
@Antilles_Prime: This has been discredited as an urban legend. Studies have shown that the stress of throwing a curveball is actually less than throwing a fastball. I think because a curveball is achieved by flicking your wrist.

Listen up: When a kid's arm is sore ... don't let him pitch.
Dash, this is easy for you to say. You have this cushy job. Gawker media probably provides you with free danish every morning. Some of us are trying to parlay our Little League success into a sweet gig coaching first base at the High School level. That would be so sweet.
From 1995 to 1998, Dr. James Andrews performed nine Tommy John surgeries on teenage patients. From 2003 to 2008? 224.
Well yeah. You can thank high speed internet and readily available pornography for that jump.
I blame lower pitching mounds, aluminum bats, overzealous parents, and hotter middle-school teachers to fantasize about while vigorously rubbing one out before bedtime. And by "one" I mean "three".
But I've got a radical solution . . When a kid's arm is sore ... don't let him pitch.
I was really looking for "enroll them in the next regional mutton bustin' rodeo" here.
