Default My Son
I have a son with Spina Bfida who played the same exact way (with crutches) and I was frequently misty eyed when I watched him play as well as how the coaches and kids treated him the same as any other player. Awesome to see.

This is awesome.

I dug around a bit and this video is from way back in 2008. ESPN actually did do a story on him. His name is Adam Bender. He also played soccer, football and wrestling. The kid is a complete gamer... would love to get an update on what he's been up to.

Goosebumps. It's so good to see kids want to play the thrill of baseball. He's heck of ball player! I showed to the whole family even my 8 years old and he was like, whoa, he's fast!!

Best,
Danny

What I found particularly amazing was his seamless transition from two to one to no crutches at times, all-the-while focusing on what he was doing on the field.
