Ruhle Sick, Not Ruhled Out
Reds pitching coach Vern Ruhle has cancer:
The first road trip of the spring is off to a somber start. We were informed that pitching coach Vern Ruhle is about to start treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer. The good news is it was caught early. In fact, it was discoved in a blood test during the precamp physical.
...
Ruhle plans to continue on the job as his treatment allows. The thoughts and prayers of anyone connected with the Reds are with him.
Let's hope Vern recovers quickly.

Vern Ruhle used to be one of my favorite players. He just seemed like a genuinely nice guy. I hope he has full recovery.
