Hi! I'm Tyler. If you want to know more about me, my background, or why I chose the topic that I chose, go see my "About Me" page!
First of all, here is a video of Munenori Kawasaki's post-game interview on May 26, 2013. I hope it brightens your day a little. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1652622-munenori-kawasaki-video-watch-blue-jays-ss-epic-interview-after-walkoff-double
The topic that i decided on is Tommy John surgery. Tommy John pitched in the MLB from 1963 to 1989. He pitch his final game on May 25, 1989, at age 46. This surgery, much like Lou Gehrig's disease, is named after a famous or popular player that it happened to. Tommy John surgery is the reconstruction of the UCL (ulnar collateral ligament). I was very close to having to get a similar surgery to this. The reason I picked this surgery, rather than the one I almost had to get, is because it has happened to many MLB pitchers, including one of my favorite MLB players and role models, Stephen Strasburg. This is the video of when Strasburg hurt his arm.http://m.mlb.com/video/v11227623/wasphi-strasburg-exits-after-injuring-his-forearm
Well, that's all I've got for this week, stayed tuned to my blog if you are interested in this subject,
enjoy the MLB, or are a pitcher dealing with arm problems yourself. I will be not only studying this surgery, but finding out techniques and tips that will help prevent this from happening to any of you pitchers out there. Thanks and stay tuned!
