E04: Open Strong

Imagine a surgery that not only recovers an athlete back to normal selves, but amplifies there game at the same time.  Tommy John surgery, the most common operation in baseball today.  A ligament in your elbow that holds the forearm bones to the upper arm bones is replaced with the tendon in your wrist and intertwined through holes made in the ends of each bone.  We may have hear different things about it, but really don’t know the facts behind it.  A 10-12 month full recovery process can really make a pitcher gain speed and have a stronger arm then they ever did before.  We might even realize, pitchers should have this done before even getting hurt in the first place.  That is the thought that will make you think about how much of a plus this extraordinary surgery really is.
