A hard throwing southpaw,
manufactured a medical revolution.
Quaint the reality of a crafty lefthander.
Toiled for the Indians and White Sox in the 1960’s.
Resorted to throwing everything later in his career.
His medical maladies were from dysfunctional ligaments,
an unhealthy elbow and odd arm discrepancies.
!974, the medical revolution was born.
New outlooks for hard throwing pitchers.
Major baseball surgeries create to control dysfunctional pains.
Tweaking that malady, Tommy John surgery to the rescue.
I ask, why isn’t Tommy John, a Hall of Fame recipient?
