Which baseball player had arm cancer?

Answer 1

That was lefthander Dave Dravecky who pitched for the Padres and Giants between 1982-1989. He was found to have a cancerous tumor in 1988 and underwent surgery to remove part of the deltoid muscle in his pitching arm. He cameback to the minors in midseason the following year and made it back to the majors shortly afterwards. In his second game back, the humerus bone snapped while he was throwing a pitch and his career was over. Unfortunately, the arm got worse and the cancer could not be cured with surgeries and medication. His left arm and shoulder were amputated in 1991. Since then he has become a motivational speaker and has written several books. A tragic story but also a story of a person who looked adversity in the eye and overcame it. Dave Dravecky is a true role model.

Answer 2

Jim Abbot comes to mind, Doug Davis had cancer but didn't lose anything.
