Cobb Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Source: MLB.com PHOENIX -- Considering the past few months of his life, Aaron Boone was in heaven on Friday. Back in uniform, back with the Astros, back in a Major League clubhouse, back to where he belongs. Boone underwent open heart surgery this past March 26 at the Stanford University Medical Center to repair a valve in his heart that threatened the aorta. Back then, returning to baseball was the last thing on his mind. "Initially I didn't care," Boone said hours before the Astros played the D-backs at Chase Field. "Once the surgery was over and it was a success, I knew that in the mapped-out recovery they had for me, I might have a chance to try this at the end of the year. Everything's gone pretty well and here I am."Amazing story. I'm really happy that he's able to come back to the game he loves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
