IT'S A FEEL-GOOD GAME

by Sooze, Babes Love Baseball

With both starting pitchers for Sunday's Game 4 of the World Series overcoming life-threatening illnesses, this game is a feel-good story.

Red Sox lefty Jon Lester bounced back this season after chemotherapy while Rockies righty Aaron Cook underwent 8 hours of surgery to remove blood clots in his lungs during the 2004 season.

Those two aren't the only ones to overcome adversity in this Series! Boston veteran Curt Schilling has managed to pitch through osteoporosis and dementia, while Colorado reliever LaTroy Hawkins, who survived growing up here, has made it through sucking his entire career.

It really puts things into perspective, when you really think about it. Hard.
