The baseball world mourns the loss of Tommy John, legendary pitcher and namesake of the groundbreaking elbow surgery, at 83. The New York Yankees announced his passing on Saturday. John, a four-time All-Star, achieved a career record of 288-231 over 26 seasons, including stints with the Yankees and Dodgers. His pioneering ulnar collateral ligament surgery, performed by Dr. Frank Jobe, saved countless careers. John’s impact on sports and medicine endures, as many current MLB stars have undergone the procedure. We remember his remarkable legacy and contributions to the game. #sports #medicine #baseball #MLB #TommyJohn #Surgery #Legend #chuckpointwalker https://abc7news.com/post/tommy-john-former-mlb-pitcher-namesake-pioneering-surgery-dies-83/19688361/
