I was born with dTGA - dextro-Transposition of the Great Arteries - and had open heart surgery myself at 4 days old. It was an experimental surgery with the docs having no idea of the outcome. That was a little over 33 years ago. I still play softball every summer, volleyball every fall/winter, and exercise in a gym regularly. What I really want to do is provide some encouragement to Matt, but especially his parents, to keep playing baseball and live as normal a life as possible. I played Little League until I was 11 (I didn't stop because of my heart condition). Matt's life may be more normal than expected. Case in point: A little under 4 years ago I took a stress test on a recumbent bike, and hit 93% of HRmax for my age group. No one in the medical community can explain why, because I shouldn't be able to reach that heart rate. If you have any way of passing this posting on to Matt's parents, please do so. Hope is in such short supply these days. Thanks, Tony Adams I’m sitting here watching Matt Vojack’s episode with David Wright and the Mets on Sportscenter’s My Wish segment.

I am a HUGE fan and seeing him with Cole Johanson was just moving! We need more guys like him in the NBA, because they are role models, whether they want to be or not. I pray for Cole and his family that God continue to watcha keep ypu. I pray for Chris Paul and his family, may God watch over you this season injury free and hopefully a title. Geaux Hornets!!!
