More than a famous surgery.

Won 288 games but not in the HOF because he was deemed a compiler. Played 14 years after the surgery.

Was on 3 World Series teams 2 with Dodgers who lost to NYY and one with NYY and lost to the Dodgers.

I remember when his son fell out of a window in a neighboring town and was in serious condition but ended up doing very well.

RIP Tommy....you were great.

It’s one of the first ones that I remember as I was fairly proud of the work I put in. Was it my first ever? I wouldn’t have a clue. That was over 40 years ago lol
