TokyoJetsFan Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Don’t know if anyone saw the guy singing the National Anthem, but he’s blind and autistic and can hear a song once and play it on the piano and sing it right after. Pretty inspirational kid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang out for a bit, I will be there a week from Wednesday with my son Shane. You haven't seen him since he was 11, time for us to hang out again. That speech you gave him after his little game when he went 2 for 3 was legendary. Terrible advice, you told him to dictate where he batted in the lineup and other horrible ideas. It was a legendary speech though lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took the wife and kids to see him a few years ago and got to meet him after the show. Hopefully he teaches JD how to pull a rabbit out of a hat at #4 before next Thursday night!
