Opening of the Season: Little League Baseball Pro and Con

Abstract

Drs. Torg et al. have thrown us a curve with their article in the February issue of Pediatrics on arm injuries in young baseball pitchers. Having referred to "the effect of competitive pitching" in their title, they have proceeded to discuss a group of boys who, they would have us believe, played baseball "for the sake of recreation rather than competition." If one could imagine that such a group of boys had been found, then the authors have failed to investigate what they claim to have investigated.
