‘It taught us a lot about life,’ the Angels catcher says at Yankee Stadium about three years after Michael O’Hoppe was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma
Angels catcher Logan O’Hoppe runs the bases after homering against the Colorado Rockies in the fifth inning July 31, 2024, at Angel Stadium. The Angels are in New York just at the time when the Angels catcher and his family are celebrating the anniversary of his father’s successful fight against non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
“It’s a little overwhelming,” Logan O’Hoppe said before Wednesday’s doubleheader, which was scheduled after Tuesday’s game was postponed because of rain. “It’ll be really good to have everyone here. I feel like it’s a little bit of what I can pay him back for what they’ve done for us.” “It’s terrifying,” Logan said. “Anyone that knows us, knows how tight knit we are. We’re all so close to each other. It’s scary. But it taught us a lot about life and really put things in perspective when you go through that. It seems that baseball doesn’t matter as much.”
Corey Phelan was one of O’Hoppe’s teammates in the Phillies system, as well as a fellow New Yorker. He was diagnosed with cancer in April 2022 and he died six months later at the age of 20., an organization dedicated to helping ease the financial burden on families with children fighting cancer. O’Hoppe, who often wears a “Corey’s Promise” T-shirt at the ballpark, was able to attend their charity golf tournament Monday.
