Joel Siegel, 1943 - 2007

Joel Siegel, the “Good Morning, America” film critic, was a brave man, and a hell of a nice guy. Diagnosed with colon cancer in 1997, two weeks before he learned he was about to become a father, he was given a 60 percent chance of living long enough to see his child. But he fought those odds for a decade, and once told me, “I’ve gone up one side of the bell curve and down the other side, and am now advancing into enemy territory.”
Siegel died on Friday, at 63. A memorial celebration is planned for September. Fearing he would not live long enough to be a father for his son Dylan, he wrote the 2003 book Lessons for Dylan, containing the advice and memories he would have wanted to pass on. But he lived long enough to pass a lot of them on in person.

Mets’ Reyes stays humble while becoming the best
There are nights, Jose Reyes says, where he’ll lay his head down, say his prayers, ponder everything that has happened in life and softly weep.
Reyes, the dazzling New York Met who leads the National League All-Star balloting at shortstop, finds it amusing such a big deal is made about his perpetual smile. He can’t believe the fuss they make about his endless energy and ceaseless enthusiasm.
“If only they knew,” Reyes says, softly.
