Rick Sutcliffe by Rich Arden/ESPN
Ex-Major League Baseball pitcher and ESPN analyst Rick Sutcliffe has been diagnosed with colon cancer. ESPN just released the following statement:
"A routine test during a physical revealed that Sutcliffe has a treatable and curable form of colon cancer. He will undergo chemotherapy and surgery over the next few months and he is hoping to make a healthy comeback later this year.
'I deeply appreciate the support of the ESPN family and my family and friends around the country,' said Rick Sutcliffe."
Sutcliffe retired from baseball in 1994 and joined ESPN in 1999. He was a three-time MLB All-Star and won the Cy Young Award (given to baseball's top pitcher) in 1984.
