    Hi my name is John Saxon, and I play baseball here at Lindenwood. I transfered here last year from Harris-Stowe, and in the fall of '08 tore a ligament in my pitching elbow. I had reconstructive surgery on that elbow, and could not play. I hope to be back on the mound at 100 percent by late October.
