Adam Bender, 8, is one of several kids who plays 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.
Please click on the underlined headline above or visit the link below to view the videos about Adam.

Adam not only has physical toughness but also mental toughness. His attitude sets an example for everyone!
After this story was published in the Lexington Herald, Adam became the subject of an ESPN special that aired in June of this year.
