« Sometime toward the end of the season I began to worry about some shoulder pain
that I was experiencing. In what turned out to be a bad decision, I reported this to the manager and allowed him to send me to the team doctor. The doctor diagnosed bursitis, and I was released the very next day. I know today that I did not have bursitis, I had a partially torn rotator cuff. Of course no one knew anything about rotator cuffs in those days, and that was my bad luck. Actually, I had played with that pain since I was sixteen years old, and I could have gone on. My college coach chided me for not consulting my own doctor instead of the team physician, but what did I know at that age? » -Wayne Robbins |
