Lester Bouncing Back From Lymphoma

Jon Lester, a pitcher with the Boston Red Sox, made an immediate splash in his rookie season last year, winning his first five decisions for Boston. Soon thereafter, however, he was diagnosed with anaplastic large cell lymphoma and began chemotherapy treatment.

Lester is now cancer free and working his way back into the rotation. He took the mound for the first time in a "B" game on Monday and his comeback appears to be on track.
