Jamie Moyer will Undergo Tommy John Surgery, He Needs to Retire
By Kyle Scott
Published:
Jamie Moyer will undergo Tommy John surgery tomorrow in an effort to repair his 48-year-old left elbow.
But he still wants to play again. This was posted on his foundations's Facebook Page last night:
It's official – Jamie is having surgery Wednesday and we are cautiously optimistic superman will make a comeback! – Karen and Jamie
Look, I know it might be blasphemous to criticize Jamie around these parts, but it's time for the old man to hang it up. Tommy John surgery has a recovery period of at least a year. That means Moyer will be attempting a comeback, from serious elbow surgery, at age 50.
Maybe a shred of dignity, Jamie?
