Pollet Seeks 1949 Form With Pirates After Arm Heal
Howie Pollet, 30, of the Pirates, says his sore left arm is healed and he is in his best form in years. He recalls a rough 1949 season with St Louis after a spring training delay and a midseason trade to Pittsburgh on June 15. Pollet credits patience in spring training and says he is throwing faster than in the past three years and aims to return to top form.
