The Major League Baseball (MLB) commissioner & his team really went and did. They let Jimmie John's subs, yeah, the sandwich place, sponsor and rename Tommy John surgery to Jimmie John's surgery. Can you believe it? I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.
Now, for those of you who don't know, Tommy John surgery is a type of surgery that baseball pitchers get when they mess up their throwing arm. It's named after a guy named Tommy John who was the first person to get the surgery. But now, thanks to the MLB, it's been renamed Jimmie John's surgery. I guess that means if you mess up your arm throwing a baseball, you better hope you've got a hankerin' for a sandwich.
I gotta hand it to Jimmie John's, though. They really know how to make a name for themselves. They've already got a sandwich named after them, and now they've got a surgery too. What's next, Jimmie John's heart transplant?
But seriously, folks, I don't know what the MLB was thinking. I mean, I get that they want to make some extra cash, but at what cost? Are they gonna let Burger King sponsor knee replacements next? Maybe we'll see a McDouble joint replacement in the future. I shudder at the thought.
Anyway, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what other weird things companies will start sponsoring. Maybe we'll see Oakley-sponsored nose jobs or Apple-sponsored LASIK surgery.
Who knows? All I know is that the world is a strange and unpredictable place, and I'm just trying to keep up with it all.
For Legal Purposes, This is A Joke.
