Jorge Posada surprised one of the members of the Indians during his speech at the Jorge Posada Day ceremony on Saturday.
About half way through the speech, Posada looked over to the Indians dugout and recognized Indians utility man Mike Aviles and his family.
Aviles’ 4-year-old daughter Adriana was diagnosed with leukemia in May and is currently being treated at Cleveland Clinic. Aviles has missed several games over the last few months to be with his daughter.
Posada paused and looked at Aviles, who was leaning over the railing, to deliver the message of support. Posada pointed at him and gave him a thumb up from his podium on the first base line.
