The greatest story of perseverance in baseball history has added another chapter.
The Tampa Bay Rays have called up left-handed pitcher Jonny Venters from Triple-A Durham.
Jonny Venters last pitched in a major league game on October 3rd, 2012 while he was still a member of the Atlanta Braves. Venters, at one time, was one of the best relievers in all of baseball, but he was plagued by poor performance during the 2012 season. Eventually he had to undergo the second Tommy John surgery of his professional career, costing him the whole 2013 season.
