VIDEO: Red Sox Prospect Ryan Westmoreland Thanks Barrow Neurological Institute For Saving His Life

Baseball became secondary for Boston Red Sox prospect Ryan Westmoreland (KEY ROOKIE: 2008 Razor Letterman) when he underwent surgery in March of 2010 to remove a cavernous malformation from his brain stem. He had the surgery performed by Dr. Robert Spetzler at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix which this year is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Westmoreland, who recently faced live pitching for the first time since his surgery, shares this thank you to the Institute for saving his life and shares his story of overcoming the odds to once again play the game he loves.
