Elliott’s good reason
Melissa Ruggieri
Mar 31, 2008
For those wondering why Elliott Yamin was not at the Nationals home opener last night to sing “God Bless America” during the 7th inning stretch, sorry to report that the reason isn’t good news.
His mom, Claudette, is in critical care at an area hospital and reportedly not doing well. Elliott opted to stay with her last night rather than head to D.C. for the game.
For those who don’t know Claudette, she’s a firecracker of a little lady who garnered her own bit of celebrity during Elliott’s “American Idol” run in 2006. She also moved back to Richmond last month after a six month relocation to Los Angeles.
Our thoughts are with the Yamin family.
