A Tommy John Fan Delivers High Praise
I admire Tommy John’s competitive spirit. Though most 46-year-old men would be content with a relaxing weekend of watching sports on TV, John would rather pitch against the likes of Bo Jackson on his weekends.
Though John may get into the Hall of Fame on the basis of his 288 victories, he gets my vote for his courage, his willingness to work hard, his perseverance and his intense love for the game.
