MLB ALL-STAR GAME


July 7, 1998


Walt Weiss


DENVER, COLORADO

Q. One of the most touching and poignant scenes of evening was his son who had the e-coli bacteria infection. He really was on the brink of fading away and almost losing him. What kind of a moment, what went through you when you saw him up there?

WALT WEISS: I mean, all kinds of stuff. Probably take a while to be able to sit back and reflect, I'll get some quiet time. It was special having him here. It was beyond expectations. We didn't think he'd be able to get here.

Q. You're an All-Star, but you certainly found out that baseball doesn't mean a whole lot?

WALT WEISS: My focus for the most part has been far removed from baseball and the All-Star. Looks like it's going to be a happy ending. My boy is going to be fine. It's been a great time here.

Q. You've had a lot of wishes, good luck, prayers. I know there's something that you want to say to everybody.

WALT WEISS: I've been blown away by the amount of people that have reached out to us, for me, my wife, Brody, in particular. I'd like to thank everybody. I mean, this is something words can't express. I'd like to thank everybody for the way they've been concerned and been thinking about us all along.

Q. Quite a fighter, Brody?

WALT WEISS: He's most likely to get in trouble as we move along. Maybe that helped him come back. As soon as he turned the corner, he came storming back. Maybe that helped.

Q. Everybody is grateful for Brody's condition, happy that it worked out.

WALT WEISS: Thank you.
