DENVER -- Back in June, play-by-play broadcaster Jack Corrigan let Rockies fans know why he's thankful. More importantly, he hasn't stopped.
Before a Father's Day game in Miami, Corrigan arranged for broadcast partner Jerry Schemmel to interview him on the Rockies Radio Network and Corrigan revealed that he was battling prostate cancer. But it was an uplifting interview because Corrigan was letting the world know his prognosis was good because he caught it early. Root Sports reporter Jenny Cavnar also brought Corrigan's diagnosis and progress to light.
At game's end, and at the end of every one of his broadcasts for the rest of the season, Corrigan signed off by reminding men that if they have their checkups and take care of their health, they too will be thankful if symptoms are caught early.
