Barely two months after the surgery, Hall, 43, is back to working 12-hour days. He exudes energy and vigor. He is the primary reason the Diamondbacks were chosen the best sports organization to work for in the world by the United Nations and why the team has on several occasions been listed among the best employers in Arizona and beyond.

This article is incredible. I've always appreciated Derrick Hall's efforts to reach out to fans, but I never knew just how beloved he is. This is more about his approach to battling cancer and how his influence permeates the entire organization. It is long, but well worth the read.

I would love to work for someone like Hall. Not surprising to see why these guys play the way they do. I thought it was pretty much all Gibby but was mistaken. It really does start at the top. Great article.
