FROM Linner: “My name is Butch. After I was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer, and my oncologist guestimated I had about six months to live, I asked my doctors if they could extend my life through the length of the baseball season. I had great hopes for the Mets then. Fortunately, the VA hospital was conducting an experimental drug protocol, and thought rooting for the Mets was punishment enough and vowed to help me. It seems they’ve had some initial success because here I am bothering you.
