(USA At this time)
Before the Los Angeles Dodgers took down the San Diego Padres by a 2-1 score Saturday night, Skip Schumaker hosted 7-year-outdated Oscar Juarez at Dodger Stadium. Schumaker escorted Juarez, who has leukemia, and his 5-year-outdated brother across the home clubhouse and onto the field. The go to was arranged by a neighborhood pediatric charity.
Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times writes:
Schumaker introduced the boys to Yasiel Puig, who immediately dropped to his knees so he might take a picture along with his arms round them. The boys moved alongside, but soon Puig came chasing after them, so he may give them every a pair of batting gloves.
Then, after the boys headed onto the field to observe batting apply, Puig discovered them and charged over yet one more time, this time to offer them an autographed bat.
As for the game, Puig went 0 for 4 with a walk (!) and a caught stealing. Schumaker went 2 for 4 with a double and a run scored. Puig did contribute another highlight, though, on defense:
That may be top-of-the-line performs he makes all season. From that depth in the outfield, with him shifting laterally when he made the throw residence on one hop.. simply wonderful.
But the play by Puig and people hits by Schumaker pale in comparison to their collective pregame work with the Juarez boys. It is unlikely the primary time they’ve ever hosted an sick little one, nor the final. It is simply.. good job, guys.
Yasiel Puig and Skip Schumaker do something nice for young Dodgers fan with leukemia
