"Not a day goes by in baseball where Tommy John's name is not mentioned." - Hall of Fame Pitcher Jim Kaat.

This upcoming documentary delves into the extraordinary life of Tommy John, chronicling his journey from a small-town upbringing to becoming one of baseball’s most enduring figures.

The film not only highlights his legendary career, which spanned multiple teams including the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees, but also uncovers the man behind the groundbreaking surgery.

Through both triumphs and setbacks, Tommy’s enduring career and legacy have become a symbol of both resilience and innovation in sports. His influence, however, has extended far beyond the field, as the procedure now bearing his name has saved and prolonged countless athletic careers across baseball and beyond.
