Adam Bender - plays baseball with only one leg



Uploaded by: heraldleaderphoto
Video Description:
Adam Bender, 8, is one of several kids who play catcher in Southeastern's rookie league at Veterans Park. What makes Adam stand out is that he plays one of the toughest positions on the field with only one leg. Because of cancer, he had his left leg amputated when he was one. Adam doesn't use a prosthesis, and only uses crutches when he reaches base for the Astros. by Charles Bertram, Lexington Herald-Leader

I hope you people who say he his crutches are "cheating" aren't serious. How is that cheating? Once he gets to first, he has to wait a second or two to get his crutches on. Then he can't move as quickly as someone who runs.

I love to see this kids with disabilities living a normal life but you gotta worry about him running the base bads with those cruches. It's hard enough to be careful with cleats on you know. Its just a little dangerous for him and his opponents. Still an amazing story though. I just saw it on ESPN E:60
