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

seriously this ... ( 2 weeks ago by aightyaights)

seriously this erickvllgsyup guy might be on to something..We all know disabled people are there for our entertainment..This Adam Bender has only one leg. is e breaking little league records or something. no he isnt...We only pay attention to people like this becuae they are freaks...out of the ordinary you dont see it everyday (FREAKS)..And Normal people who have both of your legs only feel sympathetic because it looks good. You know that you wouldnt change places with this freak for 1 second

I think the perfect ... ( 2 weeks ago by erickvllgsyup)

I think the perfect analogy here would be newjack187 is to retard as adam bender is to freak....Seriously I wouldnt doubt that you ride in the same freak bus as this Adam bender kid.Learn some grammar..Anyways to clarify Yes im with a minor league affiliate of the cubs playing CF(not benchwarmer like another retard suggested) I had to put 22 years old because youtube wouldnt let me put vids up if I put 17...And the Yankee logo was from somebody who left a comment

finally someone who ... ( 2 weeks ago by erickvllgsyup)

finally someone who doesnt have their head up a freaks ass...Aightyaights knows whats up...anyways im not a nazi skinhead like someone suggested...Im actually Italian..no I dont have Hitler posters on swastika tatoos..I was just saying Hitler had it right when he tried to get rid of freaks like adam bender...No i dont agree with what he did with jews gays etc etc.so let me put that to rest This has nothing to do with Adolf Hitler...Jews and all them are not freaks...Adam bender is a freak
