A familiar voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers has been silent for nearly a year and the reason why was revealed on national television Tuesday during Game 4 of the World Series.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and broadcast Joe Davis held up their Stand Up To Cancer signs with the name “Charley Steiner” written in the blank space.
Steiner revealed to Los Angeles Times columnist Bill Plaschke that in January, he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells in the blood.
Only those in his inner circle knew the battle he was facing, but days ago, after the Dodgers’ victory over the New York Mets in the National League Championship Series securing a World Series showdown with the New York Yankees, Steiner received news that his cancer was in remission.
