Cancer survivor met his baseball hero at 10-years-old, is now a professional player himself, and they are both with the same major league organisation!
A baseball fan got to meet his hero again, but this time as a member of the same major league organization. In 2005, when Devin Smeltzer was 9, he had other things on his mind. He was diagnosed with bladder and prostate cancer. He endured years of chemotherapy and radiation, but he jumped at the opportunity to play in little league when the doctor gave him the go ahead. His determination paid off.
