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

  • this is amazing, ...

    this is amazing, what i notice is that lefties usually dont play catcher, no major league catcher is lefty because of disadvantage. now this amazing kid has one leg and a lefty catcher. he plays one of the hardest positions and has more disadvantages. Jim Abbott had one hand and played baseball in the majors, pete gray had one arm and play major league baseball, maby one day if adam keeps practing and declines critism you'll see him in the majors one day

    I think it is really great how Adam can be just like everyone else and that he is doing what he loves, but I have a question. If he keeps hopping with just one leg, cant it hurt his ankle and eventually cant he end up with a fractured bone or an injured ankle?

    To quirk3: You are a pathetic excuse for the human race. For you to say such rude and hateful things about disabled people means you must have some serious problems. The sooner you realize how pathetic and disgraceful you are the better.

    To Adam: You have such an amazing amount of courage and determination. I have no doubt that you will be a successfull and accomplish many goals in your life. Don't let anyone get you down. You can do anything you put your mind to. I am sure your parents are very, very proud of you. I am proud of you and don't even know you. Keep living life to the fullest.

    I can think of it, it just makes me laugh. Disabled people are there to be laughed at, the sooner you grow up and realise this, the better.

    Why would anyone pick him when they could have a better player, maybe someone with a NORMAL amount of legs?
