Angle in the Outfield

Christina Green was a full on baseball player at age of 7. She was a person who could inspire people in her school and on the playing field. She was all ways with her mom who was a big supporter of Obama. When Gabriel Gifford came to Tuscan, AZ Christina wanted to go see her, but that that would change everybody's lives for ever. For that was the day when Gifford was shot along with many other people who died, among them was 9 year old Christina Green. This devastated everybody who knew her. All of her team mates were struck at the lost of Christina, at the day of the viewing almost 1800 people came, along with all of her team mates. On opening day in May a ceremony was held for Christina, the renamed the field in memory of Christina Green Green Field. Beyond the field past the fence is a statue of an angle made of metal from both ground zero, and the Pentagon. She will be remembered in everyone's heart forever.

Blind

Matt Steven was born with a disorder where the retina is not attached properly. This effects only about 1500 babies born out of the 4 million each year. He was always interested in sports from a young age, his brother would try and get him on the same teams he was on to be a part of it. When his brother was coaching a youth team he found a way so that Matt could shoot a free throw. He would take his cane and tap on the rim of the hoop so that Matt could hear where it was. It worked he could shoot a free throw. Matt became the equipment manager for the team. During one game he brother had the idea to let Matt shoot all of his teams free throws. All of the opposing player and couches agreed to allow him to shoot. He did pretty well most games, but in one game he was already 0-6 and they were down by one with 10 seconds left and he was shooting. He made the first to tie it up, then the second shoot came....BANK!! He had made the second shoot to get his team up by one, the other team ran down the court and but up a last second shoot that fell short. Matt won the game.

Andrew

ABC set up a little experiment to see how people would react if a child with autism would anger any of the costumers at the dinner they were at. They had one actor play the person if no one speaks he would make a fuss about the way the child is acting. He demands the parents that the child be kept under control. When it escalated to a level that the other costumers could no longer handle it the began to demanded that the family stay and the bad actor leave the dinner. All of the people stood up for the family when they saw what type of situation they were in. A lot of people act like it is the parents fault if the child is acting badly doing things they shouldn't and not following their parents instructions, along with people demanding the family should leave and be out of the view of public eyes because they can't act right. This is not what is going to happen people need to help these people and comfort them.

Boozer

This child had sickle cell he ha a very low chance of surviving if his parents had not taken the actions that the child would have died.Boozer playing in the NBA and his wife and child are living in Miami, being so far away it was rough on Boozer every game every practice he carried fear with him. In order to get treated they would have to find a suitable donor for a bone marrow transplant, but know one they could find was a match the closest they could get was a brother but in order for that to happen then they would have to take the risk of another child with sickle cell. So instead they have embryos take and looked at for testing to see which ones had sickle cell. 10 of the 26 had sickle cell and those were destroyed. Those embryos died but they would have suffered like him.  They were using technology to their advantage. They had two more kids because they need the transplant. They know have 3 healthy young boys.

Killing Bin Laden

A special part of Seal Team 6 was sent in to find and if possible capture Bin Laden. They had been trained for months in order to get the mission. They had a life size replica of the compound. The plan was simple two helicopters with 24 men and a dog, but the plan that they had trained for for months was over before anyone was on the ground because one of the choppers had lost lift and crashed perfectly and part of the tail had landed on the 12ft wall so perfectly that it prevented the chopper from rolling over. They had to improvise and went to clearing each room one by one until they were in the main compound. The Seals were moving up the stairs when a man stuck his head around a conner and he was shot. Then the next man they shot, and when they viewed the body two women were next to the body and the point seal grabbed the two women and moved then to the wall so they couldn't mater them selves. They had to take pictures and samples. Then they had to deal with the down helicopter. They had to blow it up because it had top secret technology in it so the explosives expert on the team had been ordered to blow it up. The it he thought was the house so he had to undo the explosives in the house and put them in chopper. They had to get a cargo chopper to get half the team out and the other was in the black-hawk. And they were done.
