Page "Pete Vuckovich" Paragraph 10

This was, however, to prove the zenith of his career, as Vuckovich had been battling shoulder pain for two seasons, and in spring training of, it was discovered that he'd torn his rotator cuff.

Subsequent and prolonged comeback attempts all failed, and by the end of the season, Milwaukee released Vuckovich.
