Hiller Beats Odds After a Coronary and Comeback
John Hiller, Detroit Tigers pitcher, faced a life changing coronary at 27 in Duluth during winter 1971. He quit smoking and red meat, dropped 80 pounds, and underwent an ileal bypass to cut cholesterol. He returned to mound in 1972 with a 1.84 ERA and 11 saves, becoming a national symbol for heart health and charity work.
