It was a little over a month ago, and Greg Montalbano’s battle with cancer was closing in on its sad but merciful conclusion. As he lay sleeping in his bed at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, his former baseball coach at Northeastern University, Neil McPhee, was talking with Greg’s mother, Sharon, about the time the stringbean lefty took over in the eighth inning of a championship game against Vermont and struck out the side.

Now there was some stirring from Greg, who opened his eyes, sat up a little, and said, “Coach, it was the seventh inning. And I came back in the eighth and struck out two out of three.”Those of you who knew Greg Montalbano can smile at that story, maybe even laugh a little, because it’s just so . . . so Greg.

Here was a kid who was battling cancer as far back as when his peers were battling their parents for the keys to the car. The cancer would come and go and then return, all through college, all through his years as a promising young pitcher in the Red Sox [team stats]’ farm system, but Greg’s game plan always was to blend good humor with boundless determination.
