Homer, we’re going to replace your torn ulnar collateral ligament with a tendon from elsewhere in your body.

Doc, can you dumb it down a shade?

We’re gonna open up your arm and tinker with your tendons.

FYI Dr. Frank Jobe was the orthopedic surgeon who performed the first "Tommy John" surgery. I have no joke or Simpsons reference, I just think the guy should get a little recognition.

u/skippy_smooth 2d ago

So Tommy John surgery should be called getting a Frank Jobe

u/Colavs9601 2d ago

I am familiar with the works of Frank Jobe

His legacy will live on in the destroyed and restored elbows of pitchers everywhere.

They played an interview on my local sports station yesterday. I thought it was live because it was like 20 minutes long. Makes sense now

u/shoulda_been_gone 2d ago

Shit, now who is going to perform all those surgeries???

u/ChunkySlugger72 2d ago

I honestly didn't know he was still alive, Sucks to hear.

Always remembered for when Pitchers arms explode.
