Vukovich seriously ill

Longtime Phillies coach John Vukovich is gravely ill from the effects of having a brain tumor, according to a story on Philly.com.

The piece says that the 59-year-old Vukovich had surgery to remove a brain tumor in 2001, but has battled another tumor for the last several months.

"Vuk" set a team record by coaching 17 straight years (1988-2004) before he moved into the front office after the 2004 campaign.
