Description:  

Adam Bender's Sportsmanship is Spirit. He inspires compassion in his teammates and everyone who sees him play. He lives and plays by the motto "Nothing Can Stop Me!"

Adam, 8, plays catcher in Southeastern's rookie league at Veterans Park in Kentucky. What makes Adam stand out is that he plays one of the toughest positions on the field with only one leg. Because of cancer, he had his left leg amputated when he was one. Adam doesn't use a prosthesis, and only uses crutches when he reaches base for the Astros.
