Astro Pitcher Culver Feels Arm Is Ready
Astro pitcher George Culver, after surgery last fall, says his throwing arm is pain free and ready for a return to the big leagues. Culver, who no hit Vada Pinson while with Cincinnati in 1962, joined Houston midseason last year and went 6-6 in 43 appearances despite bone chips in the arm. He notes it feels strange to pitch without pain after the long recovery.
