A's Player Suffers Devastating Tragedy, On the same day his team celebrates an AL West title, Pat Neshek deals with an unexplained loss. Pat Neshek's baby boy dies 23 hours after birth, Total sorrow. Unimaginable and seemingly implacable sorrow. Nobody ever should be made to feel how Oakland Athletics pitcher Pat Neshek and his wife Stephanee Neshek must feel right now.
In a series of tweets that are simply devastating, Neshek and his wife communicated how they anticipated and celebrated the birth of their first child. They also reflected on the rebirth of Neshek's career and the A's incredible season. And they plainly described the stunning horror of losing a newborn son. The tweets include a family photo, obviously taken shortly after Stephanee Neshek gave birth.
Gehrig John Neshek - weighing 8 pounds, 5 ounces - was born Tuesday. He didn't make it to Thursday, and the Nesheks don't know why. Warning: The following is hard to read:
Neshek had been granted leave from the A's in order to attend the birth in Florida. So he missed the team clinching the AL West in Oakland, completing a 13-game climb to overtake the Texas Rangers. But what does baseball mean when compared to the birth of your first child?
