Appreciate it. We've got T.J. Antone coming back to the pod today uh major league pitcher

all around good guy and dare i say broadcaster now goodness gracious every time i turn on

something there's t j anton so taking advantage i mean this is not the position you want to be in

obviously but it is what it is.

You roll with it.

You've been making a lot of appearances.

Yeah, I feel like I've had more appearances not playing, getting injured and telling the

story than when I was playing, for sure.

Yeah.

Now, we're going to get into the, you know, injuring yourself again.

And gosh, that was a tough night.

They've all been tough, but that was tough.

But I want to talk about present first, and then we'll go back.

Just how's it been?

All of a sudden, you know, one, you want to inspire people.

And you've been doing videos while you're doing this rehab.

So let's first start there.

Why in the world?

Because that's a lot of work.

But you want to be, I don't want to say poster child, but at least an example and inspiration to a lot of kids get Tommy John surgery nowadays, not just pro baseball players.

Why do you want to be that guy?
