[AOL Fanhouse] Adam Bender, Age 8, Plays Baseball on 1 Leg

Such an inspiration.

And guess what team he plays for?

I would rather be rooting for this team instead of the current one.

That's 8-year-old Adam Bender, who squats on his one leg while playing catcher, stands on his one leg while batting and hops to first base after he hits the ball. The Lexington Herald-Leader reports:

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.

Adam's father says that after the amputation, "We didn't know how adaptable he'd be. But we got a glimpse of it 48 hours later when he started figuring out how to crawl."
