Members phkrause Posted January 15, 2019 Members Posted January 15, 2019 Mel Stottlemyre, New York baseball legend, dead at 77 A five-time All-Star and three-time 20-game winner for the Yankees and later the tutor for Doc Gooden, Ron Darling, Sid Fernandez, Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens among others, Stottlemyre was first diagnosed with multiple myeloma, for which there is no cure, in the spring of 1999, his third season as Torre’s pitching coach. He underwent an experimental treatment for the disease that included a stem-cell transplant, four months of chemotherapy, and as many as 24 pills a day, after which doctors told him there was still no way of knowing if or when the disease would come back. https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/ny-sports-mel-stottlemyre-mets-yankees-obit-20190114-story.html Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
