Hope his friends and family are doing alright.

[u/fotank]

That’s real tough. I’m sorry he’s going through that.

[u/ecdc05]

Damn, RIP to his friend. I can only imagine how emotional the game was for him and what it was like to go out there and play. And he played amazing. Good on him.

[u/1060nm → u/ecdc05]

I thought he seemed to look up for a while coming into the plate after hitting the homer. Hope he’s doing well.

[u/western_motel]

man, he’s always so cheery in interviews hearing him sound so sad hurts my heart. hope we let him do whatever he thinks is best to get through this.

Rivalry aside, it’s easy to forget these dudes play through some crazy stuff during a 162 game season. RIP

Yea imagine at the beginning of April "okay friends and family you guys missed this year's dying window, you are hereby prohibited from dying in the next 6 months, next opportunity will be November 1st. thanks for listening"

❤️. Also lost my childhood best friend recently and it felt like I lost my brother (who I did, unrelated)

edit: genuinely appreciate all the kind comments

We're here for you. <3

❤️ I lost my best friend from high school earlier this year. We had drifted apart in the years since, but it was still one of the worst gut punches.

[u/ContinuumGuy → u/No-Fruit-31]

We're all here for you.

[u/AC0909]

It looked like he was crying in the dugout at one point. Now it makes sense. Terrible stuff to deal with at any time, much less in such a public space.

I lost my best friend from Epilepsy at the age of 39 about 8 years back. Only guy I would take baseball with. Can't imagine having to play the day after.

[u/Mr_Cornwall]

That really sucks. Wishing Chisholm and his friend’s family well.

[u/BubblyBaker5718]

Ah shit now I feel like an asshole.

Not exactly my favorite player sure, but that’s such a brutal thing to happen to anybody. Hope he’s hanging in there okay :(

[u/WabbitCZEN]

Hate the Yankees all you want, but this kind of shit should remind you that the people on these teams have their own shit they go through. End of the day, we're all in this thing called life together.

[u/jay_eba888]

Sending my condolences

[u/ThomasCrowley1989]

R.I.P , life is short

[u/Qoppa_Guy]

Prayers up, Jazz

[u/ChloeMalibu39]

i’ve been struggling with a friend of mine who was fighting for her life this weekend. she’s made it (hopefully), but i couldn’t think for days. i can’t imagine how jazz is feeling

[u/redditnym123456789]

RIP to his best friend. Jazz is the man and I hope he finds peace through his grief.

[u/DloReeves]

This guy bugs me more than most current players but I'd be damned if I don't empathize with him. Much love and my deepest condolences. Glad your 100th happened and I'm damn sure your best friend saw it happen 😢

[u/InfiniteVibes18 → u/DloReeves]

It’s important to remember to separate the player on the field to the person they are. They’re all still people at the end of the day. We all feel for Jazz today

[u/RoserBun]

So sad

[u/Brolympia]

RIP

[u/Asleep-Lychee-4180]

He’s smiling down on you

[u/HeavensRoyalty]

Dam R.I.P

[u/Pho_Real_Dough]

I fucking love Jazz Chisolm ❤️

[u/D_Simmons]

Losing a pet is always hard. Hope he's doing alright. 

[u/RelativeKindly4732 → u/[deleted]]

Why do goobers even add the hate the Yankees part just say your condolences and keep it at that

[u/sobanoodle-1 → u/[deleted]]

This is insane 😭
