"The left-handed pitcher spent 26 seasons in the majors and won 288 games — 164 of which came after his elbow was famously repaired.
Only scandal-plagued Roger Clemens has more career victories in the Modern Era and isn’t in the Baseball Hall of Fame."

Impressive record. I knew about him for his elbow before I knew about the extent of his career.

RIP, Tommy.
