Hall of Famer Rod Carew has opened up about the health challenges he has faced lately, which are marked by a massive heart attack two months ago that left him facing death.
The 7-time batting champion and career .328 hitter spoke with SI’s Steve Rushin and shared the details of his heart attack and current health.
Carew was playing golf in Corona, Calif., on Sept. 23 when he suffered a massive heart attack. He told Rushin he blacked out at one point and woke up in an emergency room getting revived by someone in paddles.
