Tommy John is a former professional baseball pitcher who played in Major League Baseball for 26 seasons. He is best known for the surgery that is named after him, "Tommy John surgery," which he underwent in 1974 to repair a damaged ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching arm. After the successful surgery, John returned to the field and continued his career, becoming one of the most durable and successful pitchers in the history of the game. He was a four-time All-Star and won 288 games during his career. Tommy John's impact on the sport goes beyond his playing career, as his surgery revolutionized the way pitchers recover from elbow injuries and has since become a common procedure for baseball players and athletes in other sports.
