edjr 5,585 Posted August 15, 2017 Willis Mcgahee is the worst I can remember during a live telecast. but this one is the most traumatic I saw on ESPN 300 times. You youngens probably have never seen or heard of this Skip to 1:10 if you want to see the horror Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edjr 5,585 Posted August 15, 2017 Napoleon Mccallum always got me... I'm remembering the name, but not remembering what happened. I don't like watching that stuff, very squeamish. If I didn't see McGahee live, I'd have never seen that either. Dravecky ended up losing his arm at the shoulder, other than War, it can't get any worse. I guess paralysis and death Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted August 15, 2017 So he throws the ball and his arm falls off? Not watching with sound. He throws a pitch, crumples to them ground then it shows him with 1 arm in an interview. Huh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 5,585 Posted August 15, 2017 So he throws the ball and his arm falls off? Not watching with sound. He throws a pitch, crumples to them ground then it shows him with 1 arm in an interview. Huh? A cancerous desmoid tumor was found in Dravecky's pitching arm. On October 7, 1988, he underwent surgery, which removed half of the deltoid muscle in his pitching arm and froze the humerus bone in an effort to eliminate all of the cancerous cells. Doctors advised Dravecky to wait until 1990 to pitch again, but Dravecky was determined to pitch in 1989. By July 1989, he was pitching in the minors, and on August 10, he made a highly publicized return to the major leagues, pitching eight innings and defeating Cincinnati 4–3. In his following start, five days later in Montreal, Dravecky pitched three no-hit innings, but in the fifth inning, he felt a tingling sensation in his arm. In the sixth inning, he started off shaky, allowing a home run to the leadoff batter and then hitting the second batter, Andrés Galarraga. Then, on his first pitch to Tim Raines, his humerus bone snapped; the sound of it breaking could be heard throughout the stadium. Dravecky collapsed on the mound. He'd suffered a clean break midway between his shoulder and elbow, ending his season. After two more surgeries, his left arm continued to deteriorate, and on June 18, 1991, less than two years after his comeback with the Giants, Dravecky's left arm and shoulder were amputated. After recovering from the surgery, Dravecky went on to begin a new career as a motivational speaker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
