When long-time sideline reporter Craig Sager announced earlier this spring that his leukemia had returned and that the prognosis was grim, the outpouring of support was immense and inspirational. Even more inspirational is just how actively engaged he’s been in both his job and other ventures as he refuses to let his deteriorating health slow him down one bit.
On Wednesday, Sager got invited to Wrigley Field in Chicago to throw out the first pitch and sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” to celebrate Conquer Cancer Day. Here’s hoping Sager will be around to keep inspiring us for a very long time.
