Mike Hart is quite sick. He has a very serious blood infection called "MRSA" Staph infection and it is highly contagious. People are not allowed to see him right now it is so infectious. He is in St. Peter's of Albany and is likely to be there a few days, according to his wife, Laude. I spoke to Mike a few minutes ago and he is in a great deal of pain. He went in there thinking he had a kidney stone, and if any of you have ever had one you know what kind of awful pain that is. Please send up prayers for him for a full and speedy recovery. --- al hart
Google MRSA and you'll get an understanding of the serious nature of MRSA.
Myself and my family will keep Mike and his family in our prayers and thoughts for a speedy recovery. Mike is one of the truly class guys in our league.
Mike, I'm sure I speak for the rest of the WhizKids in wishing you a full and speedy recovery. You are what this league is all about. You play the game hard, and you keep it in perspective that it is a game. Off the field you are always ready to help those in need. Hope to see you on the field soon. Take care, and God bless.

Yes, Ed. Mike Hart is not only one of the classiest guys in the league, but also one of the classiest guys on the planet. Get well Mike! You will figure prominently in the Girard family Easter prayers.
Get well very soon. To see you on the field is always a pleasure. My wife can never remember the guys' names in our league, but she knows "Santa Claus" when she sees him.
