Summary
Trey Mancini's incredible comeback story continues. In March of last year, the Baltimore Orioles first baseman was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer, and began undergoing cancer treatment -- right around the time the world was shutting down because of the pandemic. Today, the O's slugger is once again putting up solid numbers, and he even advanced to the final of the home run derby a few weeks ago. The Athletic's Dan Connolly had in-depth conversations with both Mancini and his girlfriend, Sara Perlman, about what life was like before, during, and after the diagnosis, and he joins us today to describe the slugger's strength and struggles along the path to recovery. (Note: This story first aired on March 4th, 2021).
