1. The Duke Posted: March 07, 2023 at 10:47 PM (#6119884)that seems to be exactly what this article is talking about. i'd imagine kansas city's turf is/will be getting the same testing done, and if they find the same chemical, in similar concentrations, that could be the most likely explanation for what's been happening.
That said, I'm not aware of any link between this class of chemicals and brain cancers. There's stronger links to kidney cancer and developmental effects.
I just thought that it has always felt like the Royals was bigger number, but it turns out to be about the same number, and not all of them were brain cancer Brett, Killebrew, Bob Tufts, Paul Splitorff, Dick Howser, Dan Quisenberry, Joe Beckwith.
#10, yeah I remember Bob Tufts used to talk about this occasionally given his own cancer diagnosis.
For those more familiar with the issue, what's the mechanism by which playing on turf containing these chemicals could cause cancer? Where they have caused problems elsewhere it is, I believe, because they got into the drinking water, but that wouldn't be the case here.
Opponent, not a teammate--it was Andy Van Slyke.
Also unrelated, but a former co-worker just posted on social media that today was the eighth anniversary of her surgery to remove a brain tumor from this same type of cancer. I have no idea if there’s any connection to PFAS.
