Star Power: Dr. Andrews' Patient List is a Veritable Who's Who of Sports

62. JOSH BECKETT, annual exam

Visits Andrews after every season for a checkup, the ace of the Red Sox led the team to its second World Series win this decade with 20 wins.

63. B.J. RYAN

The Blue Jays closer needed Tommy John surgery in April 2007, but he returned this year to be effective for a middling team, earning 24 saves so far with an ERA under 3.00 and only 3 blown saves.

64. CARL PAVANO

Pavano had elbow surgery in 2001, then in 2003 steamrolled the Yankees on the way to the Marlins' World Series win. However, since signing a four-year, $40 million contract with the Yanks in 2005, he's taken up semi-permanent residence on the DL.

65. JON LIEBER

When the unassuming righty signed with the Yankees before the 2003 season coming off of Tommy John surgery in August 2002, fans thought they were crazy. Lieber missed the '03 season, but returned in 2004 to be an effective starter, winning 14 and losing 8, and paying off the Yankees' $8.25 million bet. Lieber parlayed that good year into a three-year, $21 million deal from the Phillies, and the 38-year old is now pitching middle relief for the Cubs.

66. KRIS BENSON

Benson had Tommy John surgery in May 2001, although his subsequent pitching stints have been less entertaining than the antics of his former-stripper wife. He's now out of baseball, but he earned an additional $25 million in salary thanks to a three-year, $25 million deal in 2005.

67. JOSE RIJO

Rijo seemingly put Andrews' kids through college with three Tommy John surgeries and two other major operations. The Reds' righty made baseball history with a dramatic comeback in 2001, after going six years without a start.

68. A.J. BURNETT

Burnett had Tommy John surgery in 2003. Three years later he signed a five-year contract with the Blue Jays worth $55 million.

69. PAUL BYRD

The controversial veteran pitcher and Kelsey Grammer look-alike had Tommy John surgery in 2003, and while that might not be the only reason for the 38-year old's longevity in the game, he has earned another $26.5 million from the Angels, Indians, and now Red Sox since his procedure.

70. STEVE KARSAY

After Tommy John surgery knocked him out of the 1995 and 1996 seasons, Karsay returned to the game, reinvented himself as an effective reliever, and earned more $27 million playing with the Indians, Braves, Yankees, Rangers, and A's before retiring after the 2006 season.

71. ODALIS PEREZ

The temperamental left-hander needed Tommy John in his second season in the bigs, and after missing the entire 2000 season rehabbing, he returned, peaking in his second season back from the surgery (as so many players do), going 15-10 with a 3.00 ERA in his first year with the Dodgers. He's been largely mediocre and injury-plagued ever since, but he's still earned more than $34 million in salary.

72. Kenny Lofton

Andrews did Lofton's rotator cuff repair in 1999, enabling the future Hall of Famer to achieve two career milestones: his 2,000th hit in 2004 and his 600th stolen base in 2007. He also earned another $18 million in contracts after his recovery.

73. Joba Chamberlain

Call it payback for breaking the "Joba Rules." When the Yankees converted last year's standout set-up man into a starting pitcher this year, shoulder stiffness inevitably followed. The New York tabloids freaked out when Chamberlain went to see Dr. Andrews, whom the papers cleverly dubbed "Dr. Doom," but the young flamethrower only has tendinitis and Andrews put him on a throwing program.

74. Brian Jordan

The one-time two-sport standout had arthroscopic surgery on both shoulders in 2000. He made an impressive return in 2001 with 165 hits, 25 homeruns, and 97 RBIs, helping the Braves reach the NLCS.

75. Bernie Williams

The smooth-hitting, guitar-playing, All-Star centerfielder had his knee scoped by Andrews in the summer of 2003. He returned in time for the playoffs, where he hit .318 and had two homers and 10 RBI, but it wasn't enough to stop the Marlins from extending the "Curse of the Giambino," which has prevented the Yankees from winning the World Series this decade.

76. JIMMY KEY

After having Tommy John surgery in 1988, Key pitched for two World Series -- winning teams -- the Blue Jays in 1992 and the Yankees in 1996 -- and earned more than $32 million.

77. RAFAEL FURCAL
