Surprise CWS road trip: Son, dad with Alzheimer's will make memories 'you cherish forever' in Omaha

Posted Jun 16, 2018
Bill Lea dropped a bat in his son Matt’s hands as soon as the Mississippi boy could swing it. And when Matt, maybe 4 or 5, got a good hit off his dad — well, that just wasn’t right. So Bill decided, right then and there, to show Matt how a pitcher would react from the mound. The next toss came high and inside, clipping Matt, who ran inside to Mom. (Omaha World-Herald)
