Frank Jobe
3/6/14: Frank Jobe, who performed the first ever Tommy John surgery to rebuild a pitcher's elbow after injury, has died. Jobe, while employed as an orthopedic consultant for the Los Angeles Dodgers, performed a tendon-swapping surgery on pitcher Tommy John and added 14 seasons to his career. Jobe was also responsible for reconstructing pitcher Orel Hershiser's shoulder and adding a decade to his career.
Tommy John was once quoted as saying “I think there should be a medical wing in the Hall of Fame, starting with him.” Jobe was 88.
