This Stuff is IMPORTANT

I admit, we make light of the whole pitching vs. throwing debate here.  But this is no laughing matter.  According to Kieran J. Fogarty, a researcher at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, MI, in a study published in the March Pediatrics magazine:

Most of the softball injuries, 68.2 percent, happened during throwing, but not pitching, during practice

 So, kids, c'mon, be a pitcher, not a thrower: it hurts less.
