Coach Ted Suzor informed me that Eric is "doing better" and speaking etc. Just very tired and having a hard time sleeping because of how noisy it is at Baystate.
Eric and his Family want to share their gratitude at the outpouring of concern from all the Relics who have called, texted, or otherwise "checked in".
And Eric is INSISTENT on donating another AED device (which his expert care providers said - without a doubt - saved his life) to the league.

Eric Gurney
You made the highlight play of the Season tonight...going deep in the 5 - 6 hole...backhanding it...spinning...and making an arcing throw to 1st to get the batter-runner by an inch
Then you were on the ground...unmoving...unresponsive
In seconds, 30 Relics surrounded
A 911 call
a Relic/Angel (Derek) who just "happened" to be a Registered Nurse
CPR and AED...
1 Police Offer
Relics taking knees
An Ambulance and EMT(s)
Relics wives and friends...praying
2 more Police Cars
You're breathing - Amen
A Fire truck
A request for Family Contact info
Teddy Suzor: calling Family...taking care of the Car, the Personal Items, and offering to go to Baystate - or do whatever needed to be done, gladly
The games getting "called" - of course...and if I know you...you're probably mad about that :-)
And Teddy Suzor calling me moments ago with the very, very good news that...You were just talking with him !! YES !!
The thoughts and prayers of every Relic was and is with you. And if you have any needs, you'd better let us know.
Rest and Recover - I expect we'll see you soon.
The Relics
