The world of baseball is not just about home runs, dazzling catches, and breathtaking plays on the field. It’s also about the human stories that make the game even more remarkable. One such story revolves around the Lowe family, with a particular focus on Nathaniel Lowe, the talented first baseman for the Texas Rangers. Unfortunately, Nathaniel’s mother, Wendy Lowe, won’t be attending this week’s AL wild-card series featuring her sons. The reason is a brave battle against cancer that she is currently fighting with unwavering strength.
A Courageous Fight:
Wendy Lowe’s Battle with Cancer
In a heartfelt conversation with his younger brother, Josh Lowe, the Tampa Bay Rays outfielder, revealed the tough situation their family is going through. Wendy Lowe is undergoing chemotherapy as she confronts cancer head-on. Despite the challenging circumstances, Josh decided to share his mother’s situation with the public to harness the power of collective support through prayers and positive energy.
“She’s actually battling cancer, so she’s going through chemo right now. She won’t be able to make it, but I asked her if it was OK if I said something, and she said yes because the more people that know, the more prayers that could be had for her,” the 25-year-old outfielder said.
Brotherly Bonds:
Nathaniel and Josh Lowe’s Remarkable Journey
Nathaniel Lowe and Josh Lowe, both talented athletes, began their professional careers in the Tampa Bay minor league system. Their journey took an emotional turn when they shared a major league field together for the first time. This memorable event occurred when the Rays and Rangers met at Tropicana Field in June.
The Rangers acquired Nathaniel, 28, in a December 2020 trade, while Josh was still making his way through the minor leagues. The bond between the Lowe brothers, forged on baseball diamonds and strengthened by family values, is a testament to their resilience and dedication to the sport they love.
As Nathaniel Lowe steps onto the field for the AL wild-card series, he carries not only his own aspirations but also the love and support of his family, especially his brave mother, Wendy Lowe. In the face of adversity, their story reminds us that there’s more to baseball than wins and losses; it’s about the indomitable human spirit and the power of family love that transcends the game itself.
We join Josh and Nathaniel Lowe in sending our thoughts, prayers, and well wishes to Wendy Lowe as she fights this courageous battle. The baseball community stands united in support, hoping for her swift recovery and a brighter future ahead.
