Blind Items Revealed
March 7, 2011
So,
this future Hall Of Famer has a celebrity girlfriend, but he still
shows he has heart and compassion. A while back, there was a young boy
who had cancer. Prognosis was not hopeless, but not great. Being that he
was just shy of being a teenager the Make A Wish Foundation granted him
his wish to meet the New York Yankees. He did. It was at Yankee
stadium, before a game. The Make A Wish people were amazing. He was
brought onto the field while the players were warming up for the game.
He was told that the players knew why he was there and they would each
come over, one by one, talk for a minute or two and pose for a picture.
And they did. Our player though did a lot more then that. He stayed and
talked for much more then a few minutes. And it wasn't the obligatory
"hang in there kid" talk. It was real talk. Joking around, talking about
music, movies, baseball etc.. cheerful things.. very authentic. The
boy, who has recovered now still has the picture and nothing but love
for our player.
