Blackwell Still Hopes to Return to the Big Leagues
Veteran pitcher Ewell Blackwell, 6-foot-6, refuses to quit after a career filled with highs and injuries. Once a Reds star with 22 wins and a no-hit game, he suffered shoulder and kidney surgery, an appendectomy, and a faltering arc with Seattle. Now with Freddie Hutchinson's Seattle club, he aims for another rise as scouts debate whether the “Wasp” can make it back to the majors.
