Cancer: The word itself strikes fear to the heart of those who hear it. The pain and suffering that family and friends endure during a fight with cancer is something people do not wish upon their worst enemy.
Baseball, meanwhile, is America’s national pastime. Fans flood the stands to watch their favorite player and boo the opposing team because of a longstanding rivalry.
These two words, cancer and baseball. So distant from each other in meaning and yet, for one San Diego State baseball player, closely connected.
