This is incredibly sad. And to think he has to go through it publicly, so to speak, with strangers, no matter how well-meaning, dissecting and analyzing his life. It's a shame about his marriage as his wife seemed supportive of him, and they were married quite a while. That day on 2nd base his life came crashing down around him, it was the trigger. Wow, I wonder if Bochy knew about his problems? He must have known about the divorce. Bruce is a players' manager and a nice man, so it mystifies me as to why he wasn't more sensitive to Huff's on-going issues. That 2nd base assignment would have been tough for even the most well-adjusted player.
And since we're playing the Reds, I think it's important to note that their star first baseman, Joey Votto, went through a hellish experience a few years back after the sudden death of his father. He suffered from severe, debilitating depression and anxiety, and even had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance one night when the team was on the road in Arizona. But he went public with his problem, got help, and here is still is, doing great with a big, fat new contract. Sometimes, getting it all out in the open can be the best thing that can happen.
