Baseball legend Tommy John dies at 83

Tommy John, the four-time All-Star pitcher whose namesake elbow surgery transformed baseball, died at 83.

He won 288 games over 26 major league seasons.

His pioneering 1974 surgery, which replaced a torn ulnar collateral ligament with a tendon from his forearm, allowed him to pitch for 14 more years.

Tributes poured in from across the baseball world, including from current players who benefited from the procedure.
