06.05.08 ONE-LEGGED LITTLE LEAGUER HOPS TO IT
Adam Bender is the Kentucky 8-year-old who doesn't let his disability get in the way of him playing sports. Born with a tumor on his left leg, he underwent surgery to have the limb amputated on his first birthday, which — when you think about it — is the best gift a parent can give.
Obviously, this story's been making the rounds for the last couple days, but I felt With Leather should address it because amputee sports stories simply don't get enough attention. Kind of like amputee porn that way. Do you have any idea what a stump can do? I've never wanted to lose my hand so badly. Anyone got a thresher?

ONE-LEGGED LITTLE LEAGUER HOPS TO IT
I don’t even know if WL can make fun of this kid, can we???
Eh, fuck it, I would love to make delicious gravy with that stump.
He's like a little bizarro Jim Abbott.
I like the legs on the snorg tees girl better ————–>
I think she wants me, badly.
That kid's better at baseball than I was at that age.
Who am I kidding? That kid's better than I am now.

Your arrow is now pointing at the Verizon "can you hear me now" guy.

he's got skills for sure, but i can't really see him going all that far.
seriously, hopping or crutches is his main source of walking, he ain't going far.
@Matt
There's a special place in hell reserved for you. For all of us really. I hope there's enough room for a buffet of hookers and
coke.Enrico's Gravey.I'd like to see him in an ass kicking contest
Also, if I was the pitcher I'd be fucking pissed.
"That was a passed ball, not a wild pitch!!!"
Any chance his nickname is "Hop Along"? And we should really be making fun of the aging hippie first base coach with the beard and pony tail.
Why doesn't he get a catcher's mitt? I call discrimination.
Wa-Wha-What a Terrific Audience
Damn that kid is way faster then I am. Somebody around there has money, that Easton Stealth he's swinging is a $200 little league bat. That's the fucking truth, 200 bones for a little league bat.

Please hit refresh until my comment lines up correctly with the hot chick with no pants
What's worse as a shortstop: getting spiked by a base stealer, or impaled by a crutch?
His throwing motion leaves a little to be desired.
So if I'm sitting in my office watching him take off for second base, and I start screaming "Oh Jesus, please, slide, SLIDE!", that doesn't make me a bad person, right?
His other leg?
I made it into a lamp for my old man.
Somewhere in Kentucky, Noah Herron is searching a hospital dumpster to find a weapon to beat down his next home invasion culprit.
test that kid for the juice
Kid fucking sucks at bat.
Anyone want to bet that was his only hit of the year? If I was pitching I would have plunked him just for fun.
Kid, you are my fucking hero.
Leg it out, kid! Leg it out!
Left handed catcher? that's just ridiculous.
