Brandon Barnes Invites Tiger Coffman to Astros Game

By April Whitzman, @AlleyCat17

Tiger Coffman has been in and out of the hospital since he was 13. After being hit in the face by a line drive, doctors discovered that he has a rare condition that forms tumors in his body. Astros outfielder Brandon Barnes has become one of Coffman’s biggest supporters and invited his new friend to attend Thursday’s game. Coffman also got to take pictures and meet many of his favorite players. Sure, his dream of being a professional baseball player may be over, but he sure made a difference on that baseball field Thursday night.
