By no means was I major league material but I did pitch in little league up until Junior High school days (and made some all-star teams!) but....

now in my adult life, I can not throw anything hard with my left (pitching) arm.

Plus with my right arm I can't raise it above my shoulder without pain. I've also had five knee surgeries, four on right knee and one on left knee (not all from sports related but I think sports contributed).
