Fragile to Fragile: Terrell Mott after the knee

Prospectors

You see this two or three times a decade. A knee at 29.6, and the player you knew is a player you remember. He lost 10.1 points of ability and will not get them back.

Thirty, and Pinch, West Virginia before that. He talks constantly and means about half of it. Nobody planned any of it. He was drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched.

Prospectors are 6-11 through eighteen weeks. Vance Hollister is new. There is one year left on the deal.

He has worn the same undershirt since his rookie year and had it repaired twice, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 18 of 1995. The rest of the season is there too.
