One of the best baseball writers on one of my favorite former Twins:

Looking for a really loud welcome back for Pat Neshek tonight!!

I find it pretty difficult to not like Neshek. Really comes across as a class act. I really wish he could have stayed in MN.

Nice story. Hope he has a good life.

Nice story, and anyone who loses a child, especially a newborn, has my eternal sympathy.

[Mike Sixel]

Great story. Great story.

Obligatory shout-out to our shared alma mater, Butler University.

One of my favorite former Twins. Great story.

Hes a major league baseball player who gets paid to play a game and is in the all star game, I think he has a good life...

 

I'm going to assume you were unaware Neshek had lost a child. Speaking as someone who has lost a son you can't possibly imagine the stress and utter hell it puts a family through. There is literally nothing that can make up for it.

I'd like to take what GCTF said, and double down.

 

 

Uninformed, or obnoxiously callous?

Young.

I didnt know that. Sorry if I offended anyone. He has my sympathy.

 

But my point stands for a majority of baseball players.

That ovation for Neshek was pretty awesome, great guy, class act and a hell of a relief pitcher once again! I'd love to see him back in a Twins uniform some day.
