Second baseman Mark DeRosa was taken out of the Chicago Cubs' spring training complex on a stretcher and transported by ambulance to a hospital Saturday after experiencing an irregular heartbeat.
DeRosa was sitting up as he was wheeled out of the Fitch Park complex. Some of his teammates were still in the field winding up a day of workouts.
"Mark's doing fine," manager Lou Piniella said. "He came in with a rapid heartbeat from doing the things on the field and was having a little trouble breathing, so they called in the medical team.
"He's completely stable, but better be safe than sorry. With the irregular heartbeat and so forth, they sent him to the hospital to test him and evaluate him. But he's fine."
Hopefully he's alright and it was just a scare..... Maybe he's preggers...?
