...minor league seasons in the Detroit Tigers organization, Birtwell was 12-8 with a 2.25 ERA while being used almost exclusively out of the bullpen. After earning recognition as the organization’s co-Pitcher of the Year in 2002, however, Birtwell pitched much of last season in pain with a frayed labrum that forced him to undergo corrective surgery last fall...

In trials, the technique diagnosed nearly...

In late stages, the disease can lead to arthritis, meningitis...
...Before they depart, they naturally pause to contemplate Porter's 73 years of existence. His homosexuality is not elided. His tense and enigmatic marriage to Linda Lee Thomas (Ashley Judd) is inconclusively examined. So is the riding accident that crushed both his legs and put him in constant, searing pain and (this is not mentioned) led to drug addiction for the last quarter-century of his life...
