Repack Haiku #339 (Jesse Crain)

Time in Majors done
Before first All-Star Game nod
Hurt two weeks prior

#T134 Jesse Crain (FY, RC)
 
In his 10th Major League season, Crain had a great first half with the White Sox, pitching 29 straight scoreless innings. He earned his first All-Star game selection, but suffered a right shoulder strain two weeks prior and didn't participate. He never pitched in the Majors again.

  1. Had a few good years. Didn't realize his career ended with an injury.

  2. Always sad to hear about an athlete's career ending due to an injury... but gotta say that final year was pretty dang impressive.
