in our final thought, an interesting tribute, a tribute to a man who made a huge contribution to baseball without ever hitting a pitch or stealing a base. it came in the operating room. what did he do? he invented a type of surgery. dr. frank job died yesterday in santa monica at the age of 88. he was an orthopedic surgeon who pioneered tommy john surgery. tommy john, it looked like his career was over after he had a serious elbow injury, a ligament in his throwing arm snapped in 1974. but dr. job, this man, took a chance, and performed a ligament transplant, took a ligament from his forearm, put it in his elbow, and a year later, tommy john came back as good as new. in some cases, even better. john pitched 14 more years. more than 1,000 major league players have had that surgery over the years. this doctor you re looking at right now has made such, such a difference, a tribute to him and what a legacy he leaves behind.
of catch, you and i, and you have a good arm i have to say. thank you. i was pretty impressed by your throwing arm. the police didn t mind that we were playing catch in the middle of times square. that s the nice thing. it s laid back. people are having a great time despite the cold. i would highly recommend coming down to super bowl boulevard. that was a beauty shot right there where we pegged it over the taxi cab and we did not get in trouble. right over the taxi cab, right over the shoulder. boom. boom. yesterday louis was my plus one as we went to the boomer esiason fryer s roast and he was being sacked. when he played for the bengals he had a good left throwing arm, right? well, it was yesterday that the governor, chris christie of new jersey showed up. do you think he took one on the chin from all of the comments? take a look. about going to this event, i said yes right away. i said, listen, i ll do anything for super bowl winning
rehabilitation game last night. do you believe you ll be with the yankees come monday? absolutely. do you believe your team feels the same way? who s the team? your team, the yankees. i hope so. i love being a yankee. i love my teammates. i have a lot of brothers in that clubhouse. we won a world championship. the plan is to win another one. i m excited to go back there and compete and keep fighting. i had a great time playing tonight. i felt good. my work was here before the game and my body s beginning to react the right way. i think the farther away i get from the surgery the more productive i ll be. i think i ll be better in six months, i ll be better in 12 months but i do like the way the ball is coming off my back. off my throwing arm. as far as the legal stuff, to me, it s confusing, the one thing i ve gotten from so many people, so many fans, some steam mates, they re like, what is going on? i think there s a lot of people confused. a lot of people don t understand
