Former New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tommy John has died at the age of 83 at his home in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, just days after the Yankees published a farewell letter he had written to fans.
His representatives announced that the celebrated left-hander died peacefully on Sunday, surrounded by his wife Cheryl and his family. The 83-year-old missed the club's annual Old-Timers' Day gathering in New York, which led the Yankees to release his message reflecting on his 26-year career.
