That's terrible news.

Nothing tears me up more than seeing a kid having to battle some terminal disease.

I will say a prayer for his family. I can't imagine how they feel right now.

Here are two pictures of Bryce Harper in regards to Gavin Rupp (who died earlier this week).

The top picture: This picture was probably taken after the Nats game with the Brewers last night. Note the "GR" on his hat. That "GR" is for Gavin Rupp.

The bottom picture: Taken at the All-Star game when Bryce was "standing up" for Gavin Rupp.

Out of curiosity, how is this a weird thread? I think it's completely justified with modern athletes today in how they act.
