Opening pitch July 15 will be thrown by Landis Sims, a boy with no hands or feet
The first pitch will be thrown by a 16-year-old boy — but not just any teen in love with baseball.Nevertheless, he always wanted to play major league baseball and developed a friendship with Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove, who has mentored and coached him.
The documentary, “Landis: Just Watch Me,” is being released for rental or purchase today on major digital platforms and cable networks, including Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video. That introductory conversation occurred at a softball camp for kids with limb deficiencies from around the country run by a group of wounded warriors in Mission Viejo.
Now Landis is helping by handing out CAF awards and grants to others who are missing limbs as he travels around the country this month to ball parks to celebrate the documentary release. “It was the worst day of my life,” she recalls. “I had all these hopes and dreams of what my child was going to do in life.” Instead of joy, she sank into a period of mourning because of the difficulties her child would face.
