Tommy John on Steinbrenner, Reggie and His Surgery

Tommy John may have lived one of the greatest baseball lives of anyone. He pitched for 26 years in MLB, finished just shy of 300 wins, and played in 3 memorable World Series between the Yankees and Dodgers. He also is a medical marvel and athletic pioneer due to his arm surgery in 1974. In this conversation John discusses the prognosis of his historic procedure, what it was like when Thurman Munson passed away, and what it was like to face - and then team with - Reggie Jackson. John also weighs in on underwear and why he thinks he was blackballed from Cooperstown.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policyLearn more about your ad choices.
