What’s Rob Reading?

“Building Legos and beating cancer: The Liam Hendriks comeback”
By Matt Monagan, MLB.com

“Building Legos is something White Sox closer Liam Hendriks had done most of his life, but it had a much different meaning these days. He was doing it in between cancer treatments for Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Side effects from chemotherapy had made it hard for him to read books, but he could still use his hands. His body was tired, but his mind was desperate for something to quiet its racing thoughts. It was a welcome distraction from the madness that had overtaken his and his wife, Kristi’s, lives.”
