When Chase Jones was diagnosed with a brain tumor his freshman year at the University of North Carolina, his teammates on the Tar Heels baseball team "completely wrapped their arms around me," he says. They visited him, brought him letters and cards and sent him videotapes of all the fall baseball games, Jones recalls. Teammate Mike Cavasinni even loaned him a DVD player and movies to watch in the hospital. (Raleigh News & Observer)
