Brain damaged since birth and he has diabetes. He goes to a lot of the practices and all of the games of OSU. He's sort of the mascot so to speak. All of the player's feel he is an inspiration, he's well liked by the players who always hang around him at practices, etc. Instead of cutting to commercial after the 8th, they showed that piece on him.
Then they showed him in the stands at Omaha, and running out onto the field, etc to celebrate.
