Redsock Fan Gets Lou Gehrig's Disease, Comforted by Humane, Caring, Kind Yankee Fans

The Boston Globe today exposes the ultimate atrocity.

“Cut me, and I bleed Red Sox... For over nine years now, I have been living with the ultimate indignity: I have a disease named after a Yankee legend!’’

Sad story. But it's got a happy ending:

Szantyr was a Waterbury, Conn., high school shop teacher before ALS, a progressive disease that ravages the central nervous system, left him virtually paralyzed and in a nursing home/hospital, surrounded by Yankee fans.
