The First Annual Travis Roy Foundation / Franciscan Hospital for Children Wiffle Ball Tournament was held at Wake Field in Brighton, MA on June 18, 2011. Everyone had a great time supporting this worthy cause. It was as awesome day!
Ok, that's my official first paragraph. But to be candid, it was a blast to be there and volunteer to photograph the event. It was also sad and happy and "eye-opening".
The event was held on the tiny wiffle ball field behind the hospital which is named after Boston Red Sox player Tim Wakfield .
It was sad to see the children and adults in wheelchairs, happy to see all the corporate sponsers and their teams hitting that whiffle ball with a yellow plastic bat. Eye-opening to hear Travis Roy during his opening remarks say "I would like to be on the field with you, maybe one day I will".
(footnote - Travis was injured during the first 11 seconds of his college ice hockey career) \
OH! and it was delicious. The food - hamburgers, hotdogs, etc was ... Excellent!
Here's a video look at the day.
