A seven-year-old girl is on a mission to throw out the first pitch at every baseball stadium in the country, and with the help of many baseball teams, it sure looks like she’s going to get it.
MLB teams are stepping up to help a 7-year old girl accomplish her 1st-pitch dreams
She wants to throw out a first pitch at every ballpark and is well on her way to doing it.

Hailey Dawson, a young girl who was born with a rare disease called Poland Syndrome, is hoping to reach her goal because she loves baseball. But she also has a disability that makes the story that much more inspiring.
Due to Poland Syndrome, Dawson only has three fingers on one hand. A team at UNLV Engineering built her a 3D-printed hand, so she can now throw a baseball as well as more easily do everyday tasks that would have otherwise been more difficult. She has a few different types of hands she can wear, including one dedicated to pitching completely.
Earlier on Thursday, Bleacher Report posted Hailey’s story, and MLB teams started reaching out to invite her to their stadiums and show off her pitching skills.
She already pitched at a Nationals game earlier this season and an Orioles game when she was five years old...
...but now other MLB teams (and players!) are getting together to make it happen for her.
This is what a feel-good story looks like, and hopefully Hailey gets all 30 stadiums as soon as she can.
