YES Network Yankees cameraman Pete Stendel is recovering from an orbital fracture he suffered last month.Stendel left Yankee Stadium on a backboard, raising a hand to give a peace sign as the cart drove off the field.According to Kuty, Stendel didn’t require surgery but still has vision problems, including “psychedelic little bubbles, little flashes of light” coming through his left eye.Kuty also reports Stendel was diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer in January.
But a month later the cancer turned “aggressive,” prompting the father of two to opt to remove his prostate rather than go through radiation or chemotherapy. Stendel was scheduled for surgery on July 24 and despite the eye injury, was able to go ahead with the operation.Robert Sabo for NY Postby a friend to help Stendel, who works as a freelancer, handle the mounting medical costs.
