Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Wednesday, July 22, 2009
Baseball is known as the all-American pastime, but almost none of the campers at Camp Sundown in Craryville have ever been to a game.
The reason behind it isn’t lack of interest, but rather that the children attending the camp all have xeroderma pigmentosum, or other similar skin diseases, which make them incredibly sensitive to light. Most of these kids can’t go out in the sun even for short periods of time, and because of this they miss many of the childhood experiences most of us take for granted, such as playing outside during recess, swimming at the local pool, or perhaps attending a good old-fashioned baseball game.
Lucky for them though, the New York Yankees happened to hear about the problems these kids are facing, and took it upon themselves to give the kids from Camp Sundown an experience they’ll never forget.
If you only knew the true power of the dark side.
