D-backs draftee Weiss motivated by tragedy
(MLB.com Arizona Diamondbacks)

Most MLB draftees stand and hug their parents in when they see their name flash on the screen. Not Ryan Weiss, selected in the fourth round by the D-backs. He couldn`t. His father committed suicide six years ago and his mother died of a heart attack about five months ago. But he`s been able to take tragedy -- in both instances -- and let it shape him to be the best he can.
