When I was listening to sports talk radio last week, a major league baseball player was being interviewed.
The interviewer was asking about the player's recent bout with testicular cancer, his diagnosis and prognosis for recovery. Thankfully, the player mentioned that this was caught early, in a routine physical given to all baseball players in spring training. He mentioned that the outcome looked good, despite this awful news.
When asked how he felt when the doctor gave him the news of his testicular cancer, he said: "in a nutshell, i felt....". No one laughed. I don't think he meant to be funny.
