The Tommy John Story
Synopsis
While pitching against the Montreal Expos in 1974, Tommy John felt a sudden tearing sensation in his arm. The doctors who examined him said that he would never pitch again-his arm was crippled. But Tommy refused to give up, trusting in God's plan for his life. THE TOMMY JOHN STORY is the inspiring account of a dynamic man's faith in a God Who still performs wonders-and his faith in himself. It is the tender and personal story of a man deeply in love with his wife, devoted to his children, determined to overcome his handicap. It is a rare and intimate look at all sides of Tommy John - the baseball player, the man, the believer.
