Miracle Mustang

Morris Dalla Costa of the London Free Press has an excellent column today on former Western Mustangs and CFL player P.J. Gleason's near-miraculous recovery from injuries suffered in a hit-and-run motorcycle crash last month.

Gleason, whose brother Paul is the Mustangs defensive co-ordinator, spoke to the team yesterday, six weeks after the crash in which, "Doctors told us that 99% of people would have been dead at the scene."

Dalla Costa makes a point not to trivialize this by applying some hokey sports theme about overcoming pain and wrong. Still, it's a great sports story and P.J. Gleason will be on the Mustangs sideline today for their game vs. Windsor.
