In every single ballpark, motivational speaker, Tom Willis, had made a goal for himself, to throw out first pitches in every single ballpark of Major League Baseball. Last night’s game between Colorado Rockies, and San Francisco Giants, on the Coors Field, was just another field on Willis’ list. Also, the 63-year-old, was born with a congenital bilateral upper amputation, decided early in life that he would not let his disability stand in his way.
