A pair of young pitchers announced today that their careers are over after suffering significant arm injuries.
First, former Brewer Chris Montefusco, who at one time was a decent prospect (#79 on the WPK Top 100 Prospects list of 1965) but who has suffered a series of injuries over his career, bows out of the game at age 26 after having sustained a torn rotator cuff.
On the same day 21-year old Damian Cantu, who just a few years ago was named the 17th best prospect in the WPK, having already returned from an earlier torn labrum during the 1968 season and torn flexor tendon at the beginning of the 1969 season, suffers his second torn labrum and this time it precipitates the end of his young and prematurely interrupted career.
