Pitching rotations would definitely have looked significantly different over the past few decades if not for him.
 
RIP

Tommy John speaks in the third person?

Saying or thinking "the patients of Jobe" always made me chuckle.

I see a long and prosperous future in journalistic headline writing for ol' "On the Nose" soxhop.

I imagine a strong case could be made for HOF induction for Jobe under the pioneers umbrella, no?

It would be neat if for 2014 MLB allowed every player who has ever had Tommy John surgery to wear a patch honoring Frank Jobe.  He absolutely deserves to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
