Inside Sarah Langs’ inspiring ALS fight — which hasn’t slowed her baseball media rise

A fundraiser for Sarah is close to meeting its goal.

“There’s always hope,” Pirofski says about her daughter’s situation. “Research, science, there’s just hope that there is something out there.”

Langs shares that quality with Gehrig. She also has his work ethic. This week, she is at baseball’s winter meetings in San Diego for MLB.com. On Monday, she did a spot on TV for “Hot Stove” and wrote a piece for MLB.com after the Mets signed Justin Verlander. She spoke and wrote with joy.

“I’ve loved baseball my entire life,” Langs says. “And I’ve seen that baseball loves me back and I’m getting chills as I say this because that’s not the goal. I just want another chance to thank everybody.”

So maybe you know someone like Sarah Langs. If you love baseball, you certainly do.
