Tommy John and Tommy John III: A Revolution in Baseball
Description
For the first time on The 27th Inning, you'll hear from two guests in this episode: Tommy John III — the author of Minimize Injury, Maximize Performance: A Sports Parent's Survival Guide — and his father, four-time All-Star pitcher Tommy John. First, listen to Tommy John III (1:58 ) talk about his own playing career, how he got into the world of sports rehabilitation, and his thoughts on both the surgery that prolonged his father's career, and the rising trend of significant sports-related injuries affecting children. Then, former White Sox, Dodgers and Yankees pitcher Tommy John (33:14 ) speaks on his career and some of its memorable moments, the process he went through with the surgery that is now linked to his name, and his thoughts on whether he believes he should be in the Hall of Fame.
