Jon Lester

Given my fight with lymphoma, Lindsay and I were pretty much willing to sacrifice our safety (the woman next to us got thrown up on by a drunk) to get a glimpse of Game 4 winner Jon Lester.

Lester and I had very different kinds of lymphoma, but that didn't dilute the awesome emotions of seeing him pitch to clinch the Series in Denver and ride through Boston two days later. He, Mike Lowell, and more than one of the Sox ownership team are cancer survivors; they're also great at their jobs, and I'm looking forward to being just as stellar in my career, despite health, as they've been.
