Description
The nonprofit Miracle League of San Diego is kicking off its spring baseball season with more than 350 participants to create an inclusive environment for those with special needs.
"And the home of the brave! Play ball!” sings 42-year-old Eric Lotter, showing his skills on the diamond.
He was born with Williams Syndrome, a condition characterized by developmental delays. Yet, despite these challenges his love for baseball showcases his resilience.
"I'm glad everyone is here for now. We are just going to have a great time today and have fun," smiles Lotter.
Lotter joins numerous children and adults with special needs from the South Bay in a baseball league which aims to pitch an inclusive atmosphere. Saturday was Opening Day at Bell Middle School and they will play for the next eight weeks this season.
