Knowing his mother is dying lessened the impact for a kid to the point he feels comfortable enough with it that he just pushed it aside to play baseball? Far from it. The point here is people deal with tragedy and emotions differently and there is nothing wrong with what either of them did. Do you think Gainey was going to do hop in his car and go out there and look for her? It appears he instead chose to be with people he was close to and await word. I actually find it hard to believe that someone could pass judgement on the guy without even knowing him or having experienced the same situation he has.
