Point taken, but again its a bit unfair to lump all of us into one category. There are plenty of us with legitimate knowledge of this sport and our team, and our players.

If Tommy John is as common as a sprained ankle, why all the stigma ??

I think Bob Segar was just trying to say that Tommy John surgery is not as uncommon as it once was. The number of TJ surgerys in this country has grown wildly and guys usually come back a lot easier than in the past, due to advances in the surgery. All the stigma is because most fans don't understand the surgery or the advances that have been made.
