ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Micah Bowie used to run around the upper deck inside RFK Stadium to stay in shape when he was a Washington Nationals reliever in 2006 and 2007. He remembers running by one of the white seats that marked one of former Senators slugger Frank Howard’s home runs and marveling at how far the ball had to travel.
He doesn’t run anymore. Now, 10 years after he stopped playing, he can barely breathe.
“Everything around my family’s life on a daily basis is about me breathing, just trying to keep my breathing for now,” Bowie said.
