John Jr. (born May 22, 1943), nicknamed "the Bionic Man," is an American former professional <a href="/wiki/Baseball" title="Baseball">baseball</a> <a href="/wiki/Pitcher" title="Pitcher">pitcher</a> who played in <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball" title="Major League Baseball">Major League Baseball</a> (MLB) for 26 seasons between 1963 and 1989. He played for the <a href="/wiki/Cleveland_Guardians" title="Cleveland Guardians">Cleveland Indians</a>, <a href="/wiki/Chicago_White_Sox" title="Chicago White Sox">Chicago White Sox</a>, <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Dodgers" title="Los Angeles Dodgers">Los Angeles Dodgers</a>, <a href="/wiki/New_York_Yankees" title="New York Yankees">New York Yankees</a>, <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Angels" title="Los Angeles Angels">California Angels</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Oakland_Athletics" title="Oakland Athletics">Oakland Athletics</a>. He was a four-time <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_All-Star_Game" title="Major League Baseball All-Star Game">MLB All-Star</a> and has the second-most wins (288) of any pitcher since 1900 not in the <a href="/wiki/National_Baseball_Hall_of_Fame_and_Museum" title="National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum">Hall of Fame</a>. Known for his longevity, John was the Opening Day starter six times – three for the White Sox (<a href="/wiki/1966_Chicago_White_Sox_season" title="1966 Chicago White Sox season">1966</a>, <a href="/wiki/1970_Chicago_White_Sox_season" title="1970 Chicago White Sox season">1970</a>, and <a href="/wiki/1971_Chicago_White_Sox_season" title="1971 Chicago White Sox season">1971</a>) and three times for the Yankees (<a href="/wiki/1981_New_York_Yankees_season" title="1981 New York Yankees season">1981</a>, <a href="/wiki/1982_New_York_Yankees_season" title="1982 New York Yankees season">1982</a>,<a href="#cite_note-1">[a]</a> and <a href="/wiki/1989_New_York_Yankees_season" title="1989 New York Yankees season">1989</a>). At the age of 18, in 1961, John was signed by the Indians, who were impressed with his <a href="/wiki/Curveball" title="Curveball">curveball</a>. After three seasons in the <a href="/wiki/Minor_League_Baseball" title="Minor League Baseball">minor leagues</a> for them, he was called up for the first time in 1963. He pitched two seasons for Cleveland before getting traded to the White Sox, with whom he spent seven seasons. He established himself as a major league starter in 1965 and became Chicago's <a href="/wiki/Opening_Day" title="Opening Day">Opening Day</a> starter in 1966. In 1968, he finished fifth in the <a href="/wiki/American_League" title="American League">American League</a> (AL) with a 1.98 <a href="/wiki/Earned_run_average" title="Earned run average">earned run average</a> (ERA) and was named to his first <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_All-Star_Game" title="Major League Baseball All-Star Game">All-Star team</a>, though he missed the end of the season after he was injured in a fight with <a href="/wiki/Dick_McAuliffe" title="Dick McAuliffe">Dick McAuliffe</a>. In 1971, pitching coach <a href="/wiki/Johnny_Sain" title="Johnny Sain">Johnny Sain</a> tried to have John throw a <a href="/wiki/Slider_(baseball)" class="mw-redirect" title="Slider (baseball)">slider</a> more, but John had his highest ERA since 1964 and was traded to the Dodgers for <a href="/wiki/Dick_Allen" title="Dick Allen">Dick Allen</a> after the season. He won 11 games in 1972 with the Dodgers, then led the <a href="/wiki/National_League_(baseball)" title="National League (baseball)">National League</a> (NL) in <a href="/wiki/Win%E2%80%93loss_percentage" class="mw-redirect" title="Win–loss percentage">winning percentage</a> over the next two seasons (.696 in 1973 and .813 in 1974). In 1974, though, he suffered a potentially career-ending injury when he <a href="/wiki/Ulnar_collateral_ligament_injury_of_the_elbow" title="Ulnar collateral ligament injury of the elbow">tore his ulnar collateral ligament</a> (UCL) in a game against the <a href="/wiki/Montreal_Expos" title="Montreal Expos">Montreal Expos</a>. Dr. <a href="/wiki/Frank_Jobe" title="Frank Jobe">Frank Jobe</a>, the Dodger physician, performed <a href="/wiki/Tommy_John_surgery" class="mw-redirect" title="Tommy John surgery">ligament replacement surgery</a> on John later that year. He missed the 1975 season recovering from surgery, but he became the first pitcher to successfully return to baseball following such surgery. "Tommy John" surgery has since become a common procedure among baseball pitchers, with 35.3% of MLB pitchers who were active in <a href="/wiki/2023_Major_League_Baseball_season" title="2023 Major League Baseball season">2023</a> having received it at some point during their careers.<a href="#cite_note-2">[1]</a> John had a 10–10 record his first year back from recovery. In 1977, at age 34, John had his first career 20-win season, going 20–7 with a 2.78 ERA as the Dodgers won the <a href="/wiki/National_League_West" title="National League West">NL West</a> and reached the <a href="/wiki/1977_World_Series" title="1977 World Series">1977 World Series</a>. He helped the Dodgers return to the World Series in <a href="/wiki/1978_World_Series" title="1978 World Series">1978</a> with a 17–10 record before leaving for the Yankees as a free agent. With the Yankees, John posted 20-win seasons in 1979 and 1980; he was an All-Star in those years as well as in 1978, his final year with the Dodgers. He appeared in three World Series contested between the Dodgers and Yankees, his only World Series appearances, and pitched for the losing team in all three. He was traded to the California Angels in 1982, for whom he made two starts in the <a href="/wiki/1982_American_League_Championship_Series" title="1982 American League Championship Series">AL Championship Series</a>. He remained with the team until 1985, when he was released, though he spent the second half of the season pitching for the Oakland Athletics. Unsigned to begin 1986, it appeared that John's career might be over, but injuries to Yankee pitchers prompted New York to re-sign him. John won 13 games for the Yankees in 1987, then, at age 45, became the oldest player in baseball in 1988 following <a href="/wiki/Phil_Niekro" title="Phil Niekro">Phil Niekro</a>'s retirement. In 1989, he tied <a href="/wiki/Deacon_McGuire" title="Deacon McGuire">Deacon McGuire</a>'s record for most seasons pitched (26, later broken by <a href="/wiki/Nolan_Ryan" title="Nolan Ryan">Nolan Ryan</a>, who ended with 27) before retiring. From 1995 through 2009, John was on the Hall of Fame ballot; he never received more than 31.7% of the votes (75% is required for election). John is on the 2025 Hall of Fame ballot, along with seven other men, under consideration by the Classic Era Committee.<a href="#cite_note-3">[2]</a> He served as a broadcaster for the <a href="/wiki/Minnesota_Twins" title="Minnesota Twins">Minnesota Twins</a> and the Yankees in the 1990s, then managed the <a href="/wiki/Bridgeport_Bluefish" title="Bridgeport Bluefish">Bridgeport Bluefish</a> from 2007 through the first half of the 2009 season.

"It felt as if I had left my arm someplace else. It was as if my body continued to go forward and my left arm had just flown out to right field, independent of the rest of me."<a href="#cite_note-SABR-5">[4]</a> John had permanently damaged the <a href="/wiki/Ulnar_collateral_ligament_of_elbow_joint" title="Ulnar collateral ligament of elbow joint">ulnar collateral ligament</a> in his pitching arm; he threw one more pitch before having manager <a href="/wiki/Walt_Alston" class="mw-redirect" title="Walt Alston">Walt Alston</a> remove him from the game. Initially, he was uncertain how serious the injury was; Dr. <a href="/wiki/Frank_Jobe" title="Frank Jobe">Frank Jobe</a>, the Dodgers' team physician, advised John to rest the arm for a few days and treat it with ice. After a month, though, the injury had not improved. John attempted to pitch batting practice in New York, and when he failed to get much velocity on his pitches, he told Alston he was likely done for the season.<a href="#cite_note-SABR-5">[4]</a> In 22 starts for the Dodgers, he had a 13–3 record, a 2.59 ERA, 78 strikeouts, 42 walks, and 133 hits allowed in 153 innings. He also threw three shutouts and led the NL with a .813 winning percentage.<a href="#cite_note-reference-15">[14]</a> With his career in doubt, John decided to allow Dr. Jobe to attempt a revolutionary surgical operation, <a href="/wiki/Ulnar_collateral_ligament_reconstruction" title="Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction">ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction</a>. This operation, colloquially known as 'Tommy John surgery', replaced the ligament in the elbow of John's pitching arm with a tendon from his right forearm. Though the procedure had actually been performed on other people before, it was usually conducted on wrists and hands; John was the first baseball pitcher to have it done on his elbow.<a href="#cite_note-SABR-5">[4]</a> The surgery was performed on September 25, 1974, and it took four hours; Jobe made holes in the <a href="/wiki/Humerus" title="Humerus">humerus</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ulna" title="Ulna">ulna</a> bones of John's left arm and used anchors to insert the tendon in what was roughly a figure-eight shape.<a href="#cite_note-first_start_back-64">[63]</a> It seemed unlikely John would ever be able to pitch again, as most pitchers in the past who had surgery on their arms never were effective again. Jobe gave the operation 100-1 odds of being successful, but John had it anyway, as his other option was to start working at a friend's car dealership in Terre Haute.<a href="#cite_note-SABR-5">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-Strasburg-65">[64]</a> The recovery was long and slow. Initially, John's left hand was shriveled and he lacked feeling in several of his fingers, due to damage to the ulnar nerve; Jobe performed a second procedure to reroute the nerve that was necessary to John's full recovery. His arm was in a cast until January 1975, and once it was removed, John began performing exercises seven days a week to rebuild strength in the arm. He attended <a href="/wiki/Spring_training" title="Spring training">spring training</a> with the Dodgers in 1975, by which point he had recovered the full range of motion of his arm but still lacked feeling in some of his fingers, preventing him from gripping the ball properly. For six weeks, he would tape the fingers that lacked feeling to ones that had it, then feebly throw balls against a wall for a while.<a href="#cite_note-SABR-5">[4]</a> John also worked with teammate and pitcher <a href="/wiki/Mike_Marshall_(pitcher)" title="Mike Marshall (pitcher)">Mike Marshall</a>, who had a Master's degree in <a href="/wiki/Kinesiology" title="Kinesiology">kinesiology</a> and who was said to know how to help pitchers recover from injuries, on learning a different grip to use while pitching.<a href="#cite_note-Strasburg-65">[64]</a> In the midst of doubts about his ability to come back, John kept repeating Luke 1:37 to himself: "For with God, nothing shall be impossible."<a href="#cite_note-SABR-5">[4]</a> Finally, in June, feeling came back to John's injured fingers. His velocity started to improve in July, and by September, he was healthy enough to pitch in an off-season instructional league in Arizona.
