I almost teared up Emotional Mancini returns to baseball after cancer fight, MLB

Trey Mancini received a standing ovation and applause from both dugouts Sunday during his first live atbat after missing the 2020 season while recovering from Stage 3 colon cancer. The Baltimore Orioles first baseman came up in the first inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates and drew a nice round of applause as he approached the batter s box and waved to the crowd. After tipping his cap in acknowledgement of the applause, Mancini then punctuated his return with a single to center. He said he almost teared up while at the plate and said it was a huge day for him personally.
