Terry Collins, Daniel Murphy support Sandy Alderson in Stand up to Cancer
Terry Collins and Daniel Murphy did something really cool during the “Stand up to Cancer” portion of the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday.
As they have been doing for a few years, MLB/FOX took a few minutes of the All-Star Game to have everyone in the stadium participate in “stand up to cancer” by holding up signs supporting someone who is/has fought cancer. This came after the 5th inning of play, and the names on the card for Terry Collins, Tim Teufel and Daniel Murphy were the same: Mets GM Sandy Alderson.
Here’s Teufel, the Mets’ third base coach:
The most impactful initiative baseball has ever made #StandUptoCancer

And here’s Murphy, who despite leaving the Mets for the Nats in free agency, still supported his former GM:

Alderson was diagnosed with an undisclosed yet treatable form of cancer last season. He has undergone chemotherapy and surgery and said in May he was feeling well.
