Jonas Gutierrez

[Stout]

After a battle against testicular cancer and many months' recovery, Jonas not only made it back into the squad and bench, but today he made it onto the field. A hugely emotional comeback for a player who always had a great attitude. Captain Colo even gave him the captain's armband when he came on. What a great accomplishment for this player. Sure, maybe he's too old to have much of an impact any more, but bravo for battling back.

Wow. I was wondering what the hubbabaloo was about him making it back on the team.
