Sorry about the bloggers block for all my followers ( or lack of) but this story really hit home for me. Third basemen Jack Hannahan of the Indians is a journeyman meaning he usually has to work his ass to get a final spot on a roster knew that his wife is in the hospital because a chance of a possible early pregnancy. After a game in Boston he received an urgent message that his wife was in labor, two months earlier than expected. There were no commerical flights during the night and the only possibility to get over there was a private flight. It would of cost him an upwards of 35,000 dollars and with a salary of 500,000 it would still be too expensive. All of Hannahan's teammates knew this was incredibly important to him and they didn't want him to receive bad news like a possible death over the phone. Everyone pitched in and Jack was able to get the flight back to Cleveland. He made it just in time to witness the birth of his first child. This just shows how the thoughtlessness of others can help change somebody's life. Congrats Jack Hannahan and your family.
