Lienhart Brown out for rest of season!
It doesn't come as a huge surprise around the league, but it is a big blow for the reigning WPK champs, the Charlotte Sting, as they lose their young German knuckleballer, Lienhart Brown, for the rest of the season. Brown will be under the knife for bone spurs in his throwing elbow and is expected to be out of commission for approximately 7 months.
Brown was the first person chosen in the 1969 amateur draft and on talent alone is expected to become a superstar in the league. But he also has a track record of being injury prone and many WPK observers speculate that he might never reach his true potential.
The Sting are off to a good start this season- currently they are in 3rd place in the MGL with a 9-6 record- but this loss is sure to complicate matters for them as they look to repeat.
