The article covers the emotional response of White Sox pitcher Prelander Berroa after learning he needs Tommy John surgery on his elbow. Berroa expressed sadness but remains hopeful for recovery, stating, "with God's grace I will come back next year." He acknowledges the challenge of the recovery process but appreciates the support from teammates who have undergone similar surgeries. The piece also briefly mentions teammate Fraser Ellard's new buzz cut, which he prefers over his previously long hair, especially while playing.
"But I know, that with God's grace I will come back next year and be able to do my job," Berroa said.
"Yes, it helps having guys here around you who have been through that process before... it gets better and better. But for the most part it feels good when you begin to throw again because it feels like you have a new arm."
"Unfortunately, it happened that day. I have never experienced something like that," Berroa said.
"I hated messing with it because it fell on my face during the game, but she said you have to keep it for the wedding."
