Tommy John's Final Farewell | New York Yankees News
Description
At 83, Tommy John, the namesake of baseball’s most iconic elbow surgery, is battling bladder cancer but still finds time to honor his legacy — and the Yankees who invited him to say goodbye at Old-Timers’ Day. He credits Dr. Frank Jobe for saving his arm after a career-threatening injury in 1974, a procedure that’s since revived countless pitchers, including Gerrit Cole and Chris Sale — both starters on the day’s game. With heartfelt gratitude, John reflects on his roots in Terre Haute, Indiana, and the fans and teammates who made his 26-year journey unforgettable.
