RIP Tommy John

[mdluk1]

Tommy John, subject of revolutionary elbow surgery that changed baseball forever, dies at 83

John, in 1974, underwent a then-experimental elbow surgery that would later save the careers of countless pitchers

[Glenn's Take]

It's weird that they named the surgery after him that guys nowadays get it to make their arm stronger and he was a junk ball pitcher.

TJ was one of the best pitchers I ever watched. His curveball was wicked and he struck out over 2000 batters.
his contributions to baseball will be remembered.
RIP.

Really enjoyed watching him pitch. He pitched with a purpose you could see in his demeanor…. Watched him pitch many games…

The world will continue to mourn and celebrate his life. RIP

Hunter Greene paying tribute to the late great Tommy John with yet another surgery.

I don't know what we could realistically get in trade for him at this point, but I'm ready to cut bait. The guy hasn't pitched a single season in its entirety since joining the Reds in '22. Enough.
