Thomas Edward John Jr. (born May 22, 1943) is a former pitcher in Major League Baseball whose 288 career victories rank as the seventh highest total among left-handers in major league history. He is also known for the revolutionary surgery, now named after him, which was performed on a damaged ligament in his pitching arm. Well over half of John's career wins came after his surgery.
John was an outstanding basketball player at Gerstmeyer High School in Terre Haute, Indiana, where he held the city single game scoring record. Choosing baseball when he realized he would not go on to play professional basketball, John signed with the Cleveland Indians and made his major league debut at twenty years-old in 1963. Following two partial seasons with the Indians, John showed occasional excellence during seven respectable years as a starting pitcher with the Chicago White Sox. However, it was a trade before the 1972 season to the Los Angeles Dodgers for mercurial slugger Dick Allen that began a skein of John's most famous years, first with the Dodgers and subsequently with the New York Yankees, where he posted a pair of 20-win seasons and was twice an All-Star. John was also named an All-Star in 1968 with the White Sox and 1978 with LA. He played in all three Yankees vs. Dodgers World Series of his era (1977, 1978 and 1981), having switched over to the Yankees by the time the Dodgers won the Series in 1981.

It takes 16 weeks until you can safely throw a baseball after Tommy John Surgery. The following short film documents some of what I did during my 16 weeks. I recorded everything with my GoPro camera because it was small and discreet and I didn’t want to get in everybody’s way. When I watch it, it reminds me of the progress I have made since the surgery, as well as the work that still lies ahead in my recovery. I want to thank the Colorado Rockies for allowing me to rehab in Denver and in particular Scott Murayama for working with me everyday and putting up with me. - Adam Ottavino _______________________________________________ Welcome to The Players’ Tribune, a new media platform that presents the voices of professional athletes, bringing fans closer to the games they love than ever bef...

Warren & Dan recently had a chance to chat on the morning show with former Major League Baseball All-Star pitcher, Tommy John. In 26 Major League seasons, Tommy amassed 288 victories as a pitcher, 7th most by a left-handed pitcher in Major League history. He started in the majors in 1963, with the Cleveland Indians, and also played for the Chicago White Sox and LA Dodgers before suffering a major injury to his pitching arm in 1974. He required reconstructive surgery which would involve removing a tendon from his non-pitching arm to repair a torn ligament in his pitching arm.

http://www.drdavidgeier.com Can you finish the season before having reconstructive surgery? What about avoiding surgery altogether? No one likes the idea of missing a year of sports, but is there a risk of doing more harm to yourself? In this Ask Dr. Geier video, I address that question for a college athlete who might need Tommy John surgery. Scott asks: I am a 22-year-old student who throws javelin competitively in college and also high jumps. Two months ago, I completely tore my UCL and was suggested surgery. I was wondering if holding off on the surgery through my senior year would be a bad idea. I do not want to miss my final year, but I also want to do what's in my best interest. There is currently no pain. Any advice would be extremely helpful! Thank you, and I appreciate what you...
In April, Jeff Passan was coming on my SiriusXM radio show to talk about his book, "The Arm." I tweeted that in related news, I was "Working on a country song: 'If My Heart Was an Elbow, I'd Need Tommy John.' What rhymes with ligament?" Then I decided to actually make up the song. Here it is, performed at a campfire talent show at Camp Oski, part of the Cal Alumni Association's family camp, Lair of the Golden Bear. Camera work by my son Buster, who I think I actually got a laugh out of at the end of the bridge.
