Joba's Father Collapses

[NYgiantsfan5689]

Wow. His father was just on the new YES network show Yesterdays, and was in attendance at one of the very recent Yankees games.

Chamberlain is known for his emotion, but not like this. However, I'd proably react the same way. Good luck to him and his entire family, and I wish them the best. Hopefully he can return soon, but it's just a game, and family is WAY more important.

ESPN - With father reportedly in critical condition, Joba heads home - MLB

Joba has been put on the bereavement list, understandably. He will miss minimum of 3 games, but this clearly goes well beyond a couple of games in April. The best of luck to Joba and his family, because this is a scary thing.

Joba, stay strong man.

I heard about this story. My prayers go out to the Chamberlien's family and friends, as well as the Yankees family in this time of need.


GOD Bless..

Joba Chamberlain's father is off the breathing ventilator, but he remains in critical care. He appears to be steadily improving, and Joba says he looks forward to being reunited with his team, but didn't mention when that could happen. He'll likely return in the next few days.

Just an update.
