“My dad played for a coal-mining team in eastern Ohio; he was a very good pitcher. If he hadn't hurt his arm, he probably would have got a shot somewhere. He hurt his arm one spring, didn't warm up good enough, couldn't throw a fastball anymore. Another coal miner taught him how to throw the knuckleball.” IfsEnoughHurtTeamTaughtArmsDadSpringShotsMy DadVery GoodWarmGood EnoughCoalEasternPitcherOhioMiningMinersFastballsCoal MinersCoal MiningKnuckleballs Author:Phil Niekro
“I'm sure there have been guys who didn't realize they had a concussion and just kept playing. It's a violent game. The head injuries are the most dangerous to play with. We're trained to play no matter what. If you can run, and you're able to focus and know your responsibilities, you're usually out there playing. You wouldn't have enough players if no one played hurt. Especially if you're, like, on special teams, you're going to do everything you can to stay in the game.” IfsKnowsHas BeensMatterEnoughPlayRunningAbleGuyGamesRealizingHurtResponsibilityFocusPlayerTeamSpecialDangerousNo Matter WhatViolentNflInjuryWhat IfConcussionsHead InjuriesSpecial Teams Author:Mike Brown

“he first make-up crew had three test runs, so by the time we were shooting, they got it down to three hours. They switched make-up crews for Eclipse and they never had any test runs, and they had to figure out what the other team had done, so the first day, I was in the chair for eight hours. But, they adjusted the scar from New Moon to Eclipse. The first time, there was more pullage on my face, so I had a hard time eating.
