Never doubt a sportsman’s dedication to his sport. From The Florida Times-Union:
Jim Young, 57, kept playing a cricket match in England recently despite the onset of “crushing chest pains” and ended up scoring. Young collapsed to his knees at one point and was taken off the field. He had a glass of water and returned. After the game, he was taken to a hospital. Doctors told him he had suffered a mild heart attack. “Now I think how stupid I was,” Young said. “It could have killed me.” No kidding.
