Day to Day Already?
by Greg Prince on 3 January 2012 8:36 am You’d think it would be too soon for a 2012 injury update, but we received one worth passing along regarding FAFIF reader Andrew Hees. His uncle Phil reports Andrew and his family were the passenger victims of a car accident on New Year’s Eve. Andrew, a devoted Mets fan with whom I had the pleasure of taking in a game just before he started high school this past September, was thrown from the vehicle and had to spend the first overnight of 2012 in the hospital for observation (or “the entire year,” as Andrew put it upon his release). Happily, no serious injury for him, though his younger brother Timothy went on the proverbial DL with a fractured elbow.
We wish all involved a speedy recovery in plenty of time for Pitchers & Catchers.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery from the Chapmans!
The young man will be fine and we hope that he will be able to put this tragic experience behind him with tender loving care from his family and friends, and hopefully a little bit from the orange and blue as well.
