That would be impressive. Still, good stuff by A-Rod and the Yanks. I remember this kid from the Pittsburgh series. The Yanks have really treated him well.

No one had connections at all it was a good job by the Pirates organization to help out a local kid and an even better job by AROD to open up his personal life. The young teen and his dad had tickets already to a Yankee game and when the YANKEES PR guy found out and AROD found out they went outta there way. Be happy for the kid with cancer and wish him well MKO, he is from PENN, and got to go to a Pirates game and while he was there he got to meet AROD and some of the other Yankees because they were in town.

Fredo, that's funny. Isn't Jeter the one that snubbed that kid from the Make a Wish Foundation? They showed that on ESPN Outside the Lines. Other Players were nice and helpful to the kid. His favorite athlete looked like he couldn't be bothered. yeah...there's a lot to learn there “You’d think Arod would learn something from being around Jeter so long.”

Manny being Manson?

Sadly, I think Manny would have no problem carrying out a similar good deed. Thing he’d probably do different is not have his publicist release that he did the good deed to the world.

You’d think Arod would learn something from being around Jeter so long.

But how many other people with terminal illnesses do NOT get the same treatment? I don't see how this kid is so special. Maybe his parents have good connections to baseball people or who knows how he became the dying celebrity. Anyway, good luck to him.

Think again. Check the stats, we are a 2nd half team. I dont see us getting swept, so a win tomorrow (with an obvious Sox win tomorrow) we should be in good shape this weekend. Will we sweep them? Absolutley not, but 2/4 is fine, but I prefer 3/4 if we can July 2nd, 2007
