Remember Atlee Hammaker? He was an up-n-coming pitcher for the SF Giants. In 1983, he gave up the first grand-slam in All Star Game history to Fred Lynn. It seemed like he wasn't the same after that. He finished the season 10-9 with a 2.25 ERA but wasn't didn't last long in the major leagues.
He wasn't the same after that, or he wasn't the same after blowing out his elbow AND shoulder? Also, Hammaker last pitched at age 37.
