I know, it just goes to show what a freak athlete Mo is. Is it that he has been blessed with good genetics or do you think that it is his dedication to training and throwing the same way for over 2 decades. I feel a closer position can allow for longevity if your mechanics are as good as Mo. They have been raving lately about Clairborne mechanics and on how it is so fluid and thus potentially injury free. But Mo has been a freak physically, except for one day in Kansas City!
