Laughter, optimism surround ex-Mariner Danny Farquhar after brain aneurysm

The White Sox pitcher, who suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm in April, is working toward a comeback. Says his wife Lexie: “I have no doubt he’s going to do it.”

TEMECULA, Calif. – Laughter filled the Farquhar house on Hourglass Street in this Southern California wine town tucked at the foot of the Temescal Mountains, and the mood felt light on a summer Saturday.

Former Mariner Danny Farquhar, a Chicago White Sox pitcher who nearly died from a ruptured brain aneurysm less than three months ago in the Guaranteed Rate Field dugout, looked like the smiling face on his baseball card again and sounded as lively as ever.
