I have no doubt he will survive but he's widely regarded as the best person in the game. My friend works with Howard Brown, an LGBTQ health center in Chicago and the amount of work he has done for them is immense. Also remembering how vocal he was after the Supreme Court ruling. I'm so proud he's a White Sock. Hope this is a blip and he's back either later this year or next. Just hope he is ok. I'm having a hard time putting my thoughts into words, but you did a nice job.

Capn12 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Man, what a crappy blow to be dealt. Hopefully Liam can get through the treatment, build his strength back up, and get back to the game we love next year-ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopa1219 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I’m hoping the best for him and his family. Going by him on the mound, he’s going to fight this with everything. Hope for a smooth and speedy treatment and recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 The question has been asked about insurance in this thread, how that may impact the Sox moving forward. So I asked about this with a long time friend of mine who is a member of the mainstream Chicago media. This is the reply just FYI: "I know when the training staff told Jake Peavy there was nothing wrong with him, until his arm nearly came off, there was the issue of insurance and whether the salary would be covered by insurance. Rick Hahn was testy when he was asked whether insurance would cover the salary if Peavy missed the first 1/6th of the season. I think this is the case with Liam, but I'll ask around. I feel terrible for Liam, since he's a straight shooter who can see who's full of crap and who's giving an honest effort. I hope he's consulting with experts outside of Rush Hospital before making a decision on the treatments. I'm a big Crochet fan, but you can't beat experience in the late innings." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kids Can Play Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Wow, that is so horribly sad! I am praying they caught it early and best wishes to him and his wife. I know he will fight this cancer liked he battles for his closing saves with 110 effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Heard back from my source on the insurance question: "I'm told the terms of the insurance policies vary, are extremely high and usually kept private between the team and insurance company. " So I guess if Hahn does something that's an indication the Sox are covered in some way although there is no way to know for sure one way or the other especially given the secrecy and dysfunction in this organization.

If caught early enough, the survival rate is high No. Nothing compares to a Hawks Anthem. A friend of mine was at the exhibition game against Russia when it started. He said it started small during the opening line then just got insane. He thought it would be a one off thing but it's a tradition now.

If caught early 5 year survival rate is 81% otherwise average 5 yr survival rate is 71% according to Wikipedia. Don’t believe he will come back this season. IMO.

NCsoxfan Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 We are not here on earth very long and when you hear news like this, it really puts in perspective how trivial sports are in the grand scheme of life.
