Mancini didn’t expect to be playing in the Fall Classic at the beginning of the 2022 season. My dad came to Houston the first couple of games, my mom was in Philly. “My sisters are here tonight, and Sara’s family is here. “My fiancee, Sara, she took care of me throughout the entire ordeal,” Mancini said. He reflected on his journey as Saturday night bled into Sunday morning in Houston. Mancini’s path back to the baseball diamond is remarkable given where he was less than three years ago. He announced he was cancer-free in November of 2020, and five months later, he returned on Opening Day of the 2021 season. The 30-year-old then missed the entire 2020 season. Mancini announced in March 2020 that he had been diagnosed with stage III colon cancer.
