Aaron Boone is a great athlete of baseball and might be a future Hall of Famer.  That’s why it’s so sad to hear news that he will be going under open-heart surgery.  He is the Houston Astro first or third basemen will be undergoing a surgical procedure on his aortic valve to correct a problem he's had for several years and it was just recently when the doctor recommend to have such open-heart surgery to secure his safety.  Among his many accomplishments was a game winning home run in Game 7 of the ALCS to put the Yankees into the World Series, and he was selected for the AL All Star team.  Let us hope it is a successful procedure and a speedy recovery for Aaron Boone. Gee, I just hope he will survive this heart surgery in order for him to continue give pride to his Houston people.
