Tommy John passes away

Tommy John, the pioneering pitcher whose 1974 elbow injury led to the development of the revolutionary surgery bearing his name, has died at age 83. His career was initially nearing its end after a ligament rupture, but the surgery performed by Dr. Frank Jobe revived his playing ability, allowing him to extend his career and achieve notable success with multiple teams. John’s impact extends beyond his career statistics, as the surgery has since become a standard procedure for baseball pitchers and other athletes.
