Michael Tekeser, 16, known simply as Mikey T, was able to see in person what he watches every night on television.
Although Mikey T doesn't communicate, his mind is razor sharp with baseball knowledge, like insight on Adam Wainwright's Tommy John surgery.
On this special day for Mike T, manager Mike Matheny, who has always been a loyal supporter of Ranken Jordan, came by to chat with his buddy.
But let it be known, Mikey T, who has progressive neurological disorder, doesn't need pep talks. He's high on life.
