There are some who grew up deserted and penniless but found their way through baseball; today, they are millionaires. Some seemingly had no talent and were told they had no future in baseball but practiced hard, persevered, and proved the naysayers wrong. There are also comeback stories of players who battled injuries and personal demons to become superstars in the game. Then there’s the story of a baseball player who, at just 18 years old, was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Leukemia, a devastating type of cancer that if not treated properly, could be fatal. Thanks to successful chemotherapy and the support of family, friends, and teammates, he battled through and today is a cancer survivor. Many people thought his baseball career was over. Those who thought he had some baseball left in him did not give him much of a chance to ever run the gauntlet through the minor leagues and become a Major League Baseball player. But all the critics were proved wrong. Today, he sits in the heart of the New York Yankees lineup and is one of the best hitters on the team. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
