ALAMO HOSPICE
A veteran plays ball.
Recently, Alamo Hospice had a 92-year old World War II veteran on service who was both legally blind and wheelchair dependent. While on hospice care with Alamo, the man was asked to throw the first pitch at the San Antonio Missions game. The man was determined to accomplish this task, and Alamo hospice was determined to help him.
Before the game, the patient’s nursing assistant suggested that the patient throw the ball from his wheelchair. But the man insisted on standing. As the crowd gathered, including Texas State Senator Jose Menendez, this proud WWII veteran slowly rose to his feet. As he did, the crowd erupted into a standing ovation. The man reached back and threw the ball with all his might, landing the pitch to begin the game. Throughout the night, you could hear the patient yell “Play ball!” while he enjoyed the game and his contribution to it.
