Forgive my intrusion, yet Id like to place a name on your prayer list...

My dear friend, Michael S. Taylor, who is our other resident umpire moderator here on the HSBBW had a heart attack on Monday...

He has had a stent implanted and reports that he is recovering well...

He will be away recoviering for some time, yet hopes to check in now and then. I ask that you might keep MST and his family in your thoughts and prayers....

Many thanks....

No intrusion Pia,

Thoughts and prayers for a full recovery and to get back to umpiring. We can always use "A Few Good Umps". I just lost my dad to a long battle with heart disease, he was a ballplayer, I'll ask him as well for help from above for Michael's complete recovery.

Prayers for this community in light of the recent deaths. My heart is just breaking right now.

Senior night was last night and one dad was in the hospital - heart attack like symptoms but with unusual pains.

Prayers for the player's dad.

You're so right and it's appropriate to say a prayer for "our"community. I was attempting to find the address of a former HSBBW poster last night in my email who knew JT. As I was scrolling through looking for that, there was Mary Ann's email address. The friendships that are formed here are very real. The losses are also felt deeply and we mourn for all this sadness.

I am a relative newcomer to this site, only posting for about the last couple of years, having read for two years before that, getting up enough courage to write intelligently amongst all of the rest who are so well versed.

I did not know those very well who have left us recently - Mary Ann, "JT", Nick or his family or friends, or the other player Brandon. I do know that I have posted on issues that each of the above first three also posted, and that from time to time I chatted in the chat room with them or even PM'd them for advice.

I can say for a certainty that my heart gets heavier each time I hear of another, and this last one (JT) has really made it sink to my feet. Thus, I can honestly attest to the fact that "cyber" connection is real - and the pain and sympathy I feel for their families is no less for the fact that I did not know them personally, but rather only frequently through cyberspace.

I think of them all daily, I pray for them all and I pray that my list does not grow longer.

My prayers to all, iheartbb I am sorry to hear of your loss. I lost both my parents seveal years ago, I know how achey you must feel.
God bless us all - remember there is a bigger plan and a bigger world waiting for us!

A quick prayer up for playbaseball who's traveling by herself this evening in the rain with several hours to go on her journey after a baseball trip. Save travels A!!

Please pray for a young pitcher at my son's JC whose jaw was broken today during intersquad. He had struck out his first two batters then was nailed with a line drive right back at him. My son and many from his team are at the hospital with him tonight - I will add more information when I get it. Thank God it wasn't a few inches lower or higher or I'd be writing a post similar to JT's.

Please also include a prayer for the young man who swung the bat. Even though we all know these things are accidental, and the risk is part of the game, the game is played by human beings. He has played ball with my son since 7th grade.

Thank you.

And just one more for a young man (2nd baseman) who broke his collarbone in a collision with a guy running to second during a play. Thank God this too wasn't more serious than that. Of course he is out 6 to 8 weeks, will miss his summer ball but he will be ok.

Our pitcher had surgery today. His jaw was broken in two places and his upper cheek bone was also broken. They put a plate in next to his jaw and he will go home tomorrow. Hopefully fully recovered in 6 weeks.Thanks to God!

Hi Ladies. We are needing prayer for my husband, Scott. We just found out that he has colon cancer and will be requiring surgery on Tuesday. Obviously this is quite a shock especially as he is young (just turned 40) and has no history of cancer in his family. Also, if you could remember the boys (8, 10, 13, 15)they could use some comfort at this time. We are trying hard to keep things as normal as possible but it is really a crazy time right now. Thanks.

Prayers and cyber hugs to you and your family.
Best wishes for a positive outcome from surgery.
Great strides have been made recently treating colon cancer, I am sure your husband will benefit from this.

You've got it, BB.

Livestrong.

I will keep you in my prayers this week...that God will guide the surgeon's hands, heal your husband completely, fill your sons' hearts with peace, and give you strength to deal with everything.
You are not alone!

bbfam - I am so sorry to hear what your husband and family are facing. My thoughts and prayers for a smooth surgery without complications and a great prognosis. May all of you feel much love and support!!

You have my prayers as well BB - God's peace, comfort and healing hand upon your husband and your family. Also prayers for your husband's medical team, that they may be guided in his care.

You are all in our Prayers, BB and Family.

You and your entire family are in our prayers.

BBfam, thinking of you today.
Hoping everything went well yesterday...continued prayers. Give us an update when you can.

BBFam, all thoughts and prayers going your way. I know you have probably already been told this by your docs, but this is one of the cancers that responds well (and is treatable pretty well) by surgery. I am in no way knowledgable about medicine, not a doctor, but I can tell you that my grandmother had this type of cancer many, many years ago (she died in 1963), and she was treated for it by surgery - colostomy - did I spell that correctly, and lived for many years after her surgery. If she made it for a long time after surgery and up to 1963, then given the huge progress in medicine, I pray your husband reaps the benefits!

I hope we will hear some encouraging news from BBFam soon... still praying for you and your family!
