I don't think so, I read Joe's book but it has been a long while. He had a press conference 4 days after surgery and he vowed to come back for the 1986 season. It was only when he had to work out for Lloyd's of London that summer, that it hit him that he was done. He said that he was doing fine, sprinting and running and throwing, but it wasn't until he had to roll to the left that the injury showed itself. His right leg had healed shorter than the left due to the injury and the surgery, so he said he looked like chester from gun smoke. 8 months to the day that L.T. broke his leg, he failed his physical and that was it.
