“I feel great. A lot better than last year.”
Absolutely.
Tyler White looks a lot better than last year, too. Because a baseball player always looks better when he is on a baseball field.
White returned to field this year to play with the Union Titans.
“I was still part of the team last year, but it’s great to be back,” White said. “I feel like these guys are my brothers. It’s great to be competing with them.”
White is competing cancer-free, too.
Diagnosed with Hodgin lymphoma in December 2013, White hoped to get treatment and play last spring. It did not work out that way.
“I can take time and listen to my body,” White told The Columbian last year when he and the baseball community were highlighted for battling cancer together. “Sacrificing one season of baseball for my whole life … you gotta do what you gotta do.”
