美國時間6月25日洋基對海盜的比賽前
他到PNC球場,總教練和幾位球員(隊長、A-ROD等)有跟他會面
在他當天的blog亞伯拉罕有提到
UPDATE, 5:56 p.m.: You may have heard the story about John Challis.
He’s the young man from Freedom, Pa., who is dying of liver cancer
but had his first hit in a varsity game this spring and graduated with
honors.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette did a wonderful story on him as did ESPN.
(註:此報導就在第一個連結)
Freedom is about 30 miles from PNC Park and John is here today and
was in the clubhouse before batting practice. He had a chance to
meet most of the players.
Derek Jeter, who has a perfect grasp on what it means to be the
captain of the Yankees, was terrific with the kid (as was Alex Rodriguez
and everybody else) and hopefully John will have a great day. I can’t
imagine for one second what he must be going through.
“The kid has no fear,” Girardi said with admiration. “He’s an
amazing boy.”

A-Rod does a good deed
You may remember the post we had last week about John Challis, the
terminally ill young man from Pennsylvania who visited the Yankees
at PNC Park.
Well, the 18-year-old and his father wanted to visit the Stadium and
already had plane tickets. When the Yankees found out, they got him a
seat in the owner’s box on Tuesday night. Alex Rodriguez then arranged
to meet with John and his dad at his apartment in Manhattan and drive
them to the game.
“It was awesome,” Challis told reporters. “It was cool that somebody
that big took time out of his busy schedule to take me for a ride to the
ballpark.”
Great job by Alex and the Yankees to make this happen. Media relations
guy Jason Zillo had a big hand in it.

A-Rod’s Whirlwind Day
By Tyler Kepner
Alex Rodriguez left his hotel room Tuesday with a special guest. It’s not
who you may think, considering the gossipy whirlwind surrounding him now.
It was John Challis, a teenager with liver cancer whose story is beautifully
told here.(這裡指第一個連結)
Challis met some of the Yankees last week in Pittsburgh, and Tuesday he
hung out at Alex’s apartment and drove with him to the ballpark. Before
batting practice, Challis took a nap in Manager Joe Girardi’s office.
“I’ll stick with the Pirates,” John said, when asked if the Yankees
were his favorite team. “But I like watching the Yankees and the Red Sox,
too.”
John has a foundation with a Web site
(
http://www.courageforlifefoundation.org/) that describes him as
“a determined, positive, happy inspiration,” and it’s true.
Great job by the Yankees in treating him to such a special day.
