Former Red Sox pitcher Jim Corsi discussed cancer diagnosis in emotional interview

Former Red Sox pitcher Jim Corsi recently sat down for an interview with WBZ-TV Sports Director Steve Burton to discuss his cancer diagnosis.

Corsi explained that he has stage four liver cancer and colon cancer. According to Burton, who is a friend of Corsi’s, the 10-year MLB veteran and Newton native “has not been given a long time to live.”

“I made a mistake when I was younger,” an emotional Corsi admitted. The mistake, he explained to Burton, was “not getting a colonoscopy.”

“I should have done it,” Corsi added. “If you’re out there, don’t wait.
