No matter who you are or who you root for this has to be an vent in sports that you consider one of the geats. This type of humbility does not exsist today with players feeling entitled to millions of dollars, they forget what they really love is baseball.

That's the kind of masculine class you rarely see anymore.

not to get off subject, but you could account that to free agency and salary cap. you're right, most players have no team or fan loyalty and only follow the money.

one of the few things I have ever heard that brings me to tears

I'm a Cubs fan and I don't like the Yankees at all but Lou Gehrig is the great 1B of all-time and was a class act. It's hard not to love him.

what a terrible disease I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy(hate to use a cliche) but how horrible it has to be. I really hope there is a cure for it some day,but somehow I think alot of diseases like this are brought on by chemicals we ingest through the food we eat. Could be wrong,but that's what I believe. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
