SAN DIEGO -- The Padres received one of their most important victories of the season before they even arrived at the ballpark Tuesday.
Randy Jones is cancer-free.
The beloved former Padres left-hander was diagnosed with throat cancer in December. He completed 38 days of radiation treatment on Feb. 1. Three months later, he received some extremely welcome news.
"It's an emotional day for me, with what I've been through," Jones said. "All the support has been great. I know there's still a lot of work to do. I don't mind weighing 173 [pounds], but I think I should weigh a little more than that right now.
