On April 6, he underwent an operation and has since been declared cancer-free.
Cosgriff will be visiting Harvard this weekend for the first time since the operation, and the Crimson, Walsh says, will be playing for him.
Harvard plans to have Cosgriff throw out the first pitch to honor him and his successful recovery.
“Wes doesn’t know it, but he’s been with us every day,” Walsh said. “We’ve had his shirt with us at every game.”
“This is a bigger story than just the Ivy League Championship. When he steps on the field to throw out the first pitch, we’ll feel like we couldn’t have had a better season, regardless of how the games go.”
While its fate is yet to be decided, one thing is for sure: this weekend will be anything but boring.
“We can’t play any harder or any better than we did this past week against Brown,” Walsh said. “We’re a good ball club, and we’re looking to show it.”
