Micah Bowie, Former MLB Pitcher

Sports Spectrum Podcast - A podcast by Sports Spectrum

Episode 235 Micah Bowie is in the fight of his life. The former MLB pitcher had stints from 1999-2008 with the Braves, Cubs, A's, Nationals and Rockies. After retiring from the game due to injury, Micah had to receive back surgery. The back surgery resulted in severe lung damage as well as damage to his liver and diaphragm. Less than 10% of his lungs are functioning and as of January 2019, he is still requiring oxygen therapy everyday in order to stay alive. On this episode of the podcast, Micah talks about his fight, the damage that was done from his back surgery that has caused the lung damage, how his faith in Christ is sustaining him, why he's been denied by the MLBPA for full benefits and the subsequent outreach from so different people and organizations to help in assisting him during this battle.  For more, log on to http://SportsSpectrum.com
