Sick Teen Throws Pitch at MLB Game Using Google Fiber and Telerobotic Pitching Machine

[kckid]

"At a Yankees-Athletics game earlier this week, 13-year-old Nick LeGrande threw out the ceremonial first pitch as the sun quickly faded behind Oakland Coliseum. It’s been done a thousand times—a staple of the game’s history—but not like this. LeGrande wasn’t even inside the stadium, nor in the same state. Instead, he was some 1,800 miles away at a mini baseball field constructed by Google at its Kansas City offices near LeGrande’s home. History was made."

This is an amazing story, nothing like making a kids dream come true while having to go through the type of ordeal he and his family is going through.  We all need to be thankful for what we have.
