Hamilton native, former Reds pitcher has brain tumor
Saturday, August 09, 2008
Doctors discovered a brain tumor this week in former Reds pitcher and Hamilton native Ricky Stone.
Stone was in spring camp with the Reds this year, but when he didn't make it, he went to Taiwan to play.
He was at the Reds-Astros game Thursday night and later suffered a seizure at home. His wife's CPR may have saved his life. Stone's former teammate Roy Oswalt, who beat the Reds that night, rushed to Hamilton after the game and was with Stone at 3 a.m.
Stone will undergo surgery and more tests this week.
