Baseball: Galarraga beats cancer again

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- Andres Galarraga has beaten cancer for a second time and is hoping to get back to the major leagues.

Galarraga said Tuesday that he recently underwent two three-week periods of chemotherapy and was hospitalized for 23 days for additional treatment for the same non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that sidelined him in 1999 when he was with the Atlanta Braves.

Good for him, I hope he ends up with someone.

It's good to hear that the Big Cat beat his cancer again, all he needs is 2 more HR's to break the 400 mark, it'll be good to see him playing 1st base for someone again. hurry back Andres.

Keep Fightin' Big Cat!!!

I wasn't aware he was being treated again but am sure glad to hear he has beat it again. Galarraga is a class act and MLB is better with him in the game, even if he's just a utility player. His leadership in the clubhouse is top-notch. I look forward to seeing him in uniform again.
