Jacob is 13 years old and has been playing baseball for several years. He lives and breathes the game. When he isn't at practice, he's at home working on his swing and his throws.
Life threw him a major curveballs last year, when he was diagnosed with Astrocytoma brain cancer. He has 2 tumors in his brain. The first thing he said when the doctor told him was "Can I still play ball?"
He refuses to let cancer win. He goes out on that field for every practice and game, and he pours his heart and soul into it. He has big dreams of playing in the major league someday! He wants to show other kids that just because they have been diagnosed with something terrifying, it doesn't mean it has to control your life. Just get out there and smash cancer into the outfield!
