Singer leading Jackie Robinson festivities collapses before White Sox game
against Rays
CHICAGO (AP) --- A singer leading the "Jackie Robinson Day" festivities before
the Chicago White Sox's game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday night
collapsed and was taken to a hospital.
The White Sox said Gerald Chaney of Chicago was alert after he collapsed while
performing "Lift Every Voice and Sing." He was a few words into the hymn
considered the Black national anthem when he stopped. He started again and
collapsed.
Emergency medical technicians tended to Chaney for several minutes before he
was loaded onto a gurney and taken from the field. The teams watched from their
dugouts. The start of the game was delayed 12 minutes.
