Do you cringe a little when you hear of people younger than you enduring life-threatening diseases, or worse, dying? I do all the time.
It was that way when I learned of Ryan Westmoreland's brain surgery at age 19. As a top pick in the Sox farm system, you think here is a kid with unlimited potential for the future.
Thank God that Westmoreland's surgery was successful today per the Red Sox website. A 5-hour operation removed the mass in his brain that was causing him headaches & numbness. No timetable has been set for his return to baseball activities.
Life & death brings everyone together. All other pettiness goes away. It's one or the other, live or die. This result is a good one - Ryan is among the living. Like Jon Lester, we hope that he can comeback from this huge health obstacle & return to baseball activities in the near future.
Good luck, Ryan! Glad you're still with us.
