From the Houston Chronicle:
“I have been diagnosed with a heart condition involving my aorta and aortic valve,” he said. “I’ll need surgery to correct the problem. Initially my doctors thought I could delay corrective surgery for some time, but because of some variations in my condition, they are now advising me to deal with the problem sooner rather than later.
“Am I going to recover well enough to play baseball again? Probably. Will I play baseball again? I don’t know at this time. We’ll cross that bridge when I get there.
Boone is scheduled to have the surgery next week (he’ll be out for the season, obviously). I think I can speak on behalf of all Yankee baseball fans in wishing him good luck.

It is amazing to see how one event can change a person’s life, as well as those around him. Boone had two major events that altered baseball forever- he hit that HR in Game 7, which pushed the Sox to go out and get some pitching, leading to the end of the curse, and he tore his ACL playing basketball, which led to the A-Rod trade. Pretty amazing. Good luck, Boonie.
