Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tommy John, left, chats with Dr. Kerlan Jobe, who invented the surgery known as ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction, now better known as Tommy John surgery, as both are honored before a game against the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium Saturday, July 14, 2012. In the procedure, which saved the career of John after he underwent it in 1974, a ligament in the medial elbow is replaced with a tendon from elsewhere in the body. (AP Photo/Reed Saxon)
