The Miracle Of Sean Marshall






When Sean Marshall scheduled his second shoulder surgery his first thought was he hoped that it would allow him to throw batting practice to his kids.  In the back of his mind another year of rehab would make him a longshot to pitch in the Major Leagues again.

When he was on the operating table in New York, the doctors realized the capsule in the labrum was healed.

"When the got in there, they saw that the capsule was sealed and healed. They told me it wasn't as serious as they thought. It took a little while for it to settle in," said the 32-year old Marshall, who thought this surgery at best would end his season, at worst his career. "For the last two years its been nothing but bad news. I was on the fast track to come back, but I just couldn’t get over the hump.”

Apparently, doctors only got as far as scar tissue with their test when they thought they were all the way to the bone. Instead of repairing tear, all that needed to be done was clean it out and move the biceps tendon.

"That was great news," Bryan Price said. "He's fired up. He's had to contemplate a lot of things. To find out the capsule was intact and get him to throw in four to six weeks, is a miracle."

Marshall pitched in just 31 games since 2012. He could pitch this season.
