I feel for the Lester family.

Yeah. That'd be rough. But it sounds like he won't die from it, so that's good.

You're all heart ain'tcha?

Seriously, good luck to the elder Mr. Lester.

Like surgery, there is no such thing as 'minor cancer'. But, prognosis is great for the senior Lester.

The article also mentions Lester's relationship with Tito, something I find refreshing and honest. For all the ugliness of steroids, for all the baseball players who are not exactly the most educated or worldly... some of these guys are just that; guys, good guys. And its pretty cool that the best team in the sport also features some of the best people.
