I know people like to mock baseball players for not being real athletes, but find me a more injury prone position that ruins as many careers as Baseball pitcher. Guys bodies aren't beaten up, but one injury and that can pretty much end their ability to compete at that level.
not Ryan's fault the Jays signed him to a ridiculous contract. He played, got hurt and unfortunately couldn't get back to his old self.
