I happened across this special story about an event during the All-Star events in San Francisco.
While I’m not certain of the malady the author’s son Kevin is suffering from, it sounds like a particularly awful cancer:
The past three months have been filled with some great moments and many struggles for Kevin. This past week has not disappointed. What an experience… We got through this one with only a minor complication. Kevin did fantastic otherwise. Next week, Stem Cell Transplant (Rescue) For those of you that have had a chance to read the article about the High Dose MIBG treatment..Well, you really have to see it to believe it !! Lead walls, gieger counters, and even a radioactive boy…My radioactive boy !! This room was so notorious in that Hospital that even some Doctors were apprehensive about entering.
Sitting in the hotel lobby of their SF hotel, the family (and Kevin’s bald head) drew the attention of an anonymous benefactor.
When up walks a man from out of nowhere and drops four tickets on our table and says “Here are four tickets to the All Star game, have some fun”..
A few minutes later, they were at the All-Star Game! That would have been special enough, but the next day the magic kept happening.
Cade and I were sitting at the breakfast counter at a 50’s diner and we began to talk with a very nice man over breakfast. I won’t bore you with the details but the man happenned to be Russell Martin’s father. Yes Russel Martin, the ALL STAR catcher for the DODGERS !! He was there to see his son play in the game and the following series with the Giant’s….
I won’t repost the entire rest of the story, but suffice to say both Russell Sr. and Jr. did good, going out of their way to help.
