New York Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole paid tribute to former Yankees lefty Tommy John, who passed away at 83, highlighting John’s role as a trailblazer for UCL surgery. Cole, a recent recipient of the surgery, praised John’s perseverance and success post-procedure. Both Cole and manager Aaron Boone believe John deserves Hall of Fame recognition for his impressive career beyond the surgery’s legacy.
