Dave Dravecky's story is one of hope,
courage and perseverance in the midst of dark and overwhelming
uncertainty. In 1988 Dave was at the top of his game and life. Not only
did he have a wonderful family but he was reaching his all-star peak
playing the game of his childhood dreams. His 5-1 opening day victory
over the Dodgers was overshadowed later that fall by the discovery of
cancer and the removal of half of the deltoid muscle in his pitching
arm. For baseball fans worldwide Dave Dravecky etched his name into
history on August 10, 1989. Defying all odds, after battling cancer in
his pitching arm, Dave came back to pitch once again in the Major
Leagues. People were on their feet cheering and anticipating the game
while he stretched and warmed up. He became an inspiration not only to
cancer fighters, but to all who needed hope that day.
Dave's story is inspirational and a must attend event!
