I bet him when he first went for his 300th win. Of course he lost.

Also, never do medical procedures with two first names.

yes, AND coincidently Tommy John was the first mlb pitcher that Jobe tried this procedure on....

what are the chances?

its kinda like, how it is crazy that Lou Gehrig died of Lou Gehrig's disease

what are the odds of that?

Tommy John was a good pitcher and a good guy. I remember too he had trouble giving interviews because of a stuttering problem that he over came.

Class guy!

Does Dodger pitcher John Ely qualify in the category of two first names?

Cy Young never won a Cy Young award.

I've met Tommy John (twice) and he is a pretty nice guy.

Rick was a one-year flash in the pan. Besides, he has a questionable past of stealing cars and sleeping with other player's wives.

And you think this was due to him wearing glasses? Maybe he needs to learn how to hold the ball properly to throw curves and sliders before he needs to work on his vision.
