Keith Olbermann's Touching Tribute to His Mother Marie 1929-2009

Keith's mother Marie passed away from cancer last Saturday, two days before Opening Day. She may have been "a little awkward at times," but she loved the Yankees, Chuck Knoblauch, her son Keith, and meeting all of her beloved boys in Pinstripes.

After watching this touching tribute, we hope you do like we did, wipe away the tears and tell Mom you love her. 

Godspeed Marie, we won't say we want the Yanks to win anything, but we think it's damned cool you met babe Ruth. In her memory, donations can be made to the St. Jude Children's Hospital. 

Mrs. Olbermann, your son may be a hopeless cause, but you sure weren't. The 2009 MLB season won't be the same without you.
