The former NY Yankee All Star has announced that he has cancer. We had the prvilege of meeting him a few year back. He was a very nice man 

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

@I am still oxox .  Oh what a shame!  A favorite ball player.  Hope he can beat it.

Sad to hear that he is ill. He was a splendid center fielder for the NY Yankees from 1991-2006. A career batting average of .297 when he retired from MLB. Then he went to music school. 

He is a Manhattan School of Music graduate and is a classically trained guitarist. He also has released two jazz albums. 
I hope he can be treated successfully. I'm a big fan.

Is this from a credible news source because I'm seeing nothing anywhere to confirm this?

He works as an advocate raising awareness about liver disease, particularly liver cancer because of his mother.

 

But there are no reports that he himself has cancer.

I only saw one of those fake facebook posts about it, when I googled it the answer was that no he doesn't have cancer.
