This inspirational 16-year-old plays JV baseball without a radial bone in either forearm
Sometimes, you come across the sort of story that warms your heart. The story of 16-year-old Myshaun Dozier is exactly that type of story.
He's like any other high schooler, suiting up in his baseball jersey and pants and hitting the diamond with his teammates on the MacArthur Generals of Decatur, Ill., except for one slight difference: He was born with TAR syndrome, a defect characterized by low blood platelet counts and, in Dozier's case, a lack of radius bone in either arm.
He doesn't let that stop him -- and, as Gordon Voit of WAND Sports shared in a video on Thursday, Dozier instead uses his condition as a reason to smile and be an inspiration to others:

Keep doing what you're doing, Myshaun.
Adrian Garro joined MLB.com in 2016. Throughout his travels, both Bartolo Colon and Vin Scully have placed their hands on his shoulders. Not at the same time, though. That'd be amazing.
