A few years ago, before I had really met him, Peter Seidler heard my son had been diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes. He invited me to Petco Park for a chat. He talked about his own battle with Type-1 and offered to help my son and our family any way he could. PS, we’ll miss you.
@BenHigginsSD Thanks for sharing that story. Papa Pete was a great man.
@BenHigginsSD What a great story about a great man! Thanks for sharing!
@BenHigginsSD Had no idea he was type 1. Another reason to admire him. Been type 1 since 6yo.
@BenHigginsSD He’s an O’Malley so he’s got dodger blue in his veins
@BenHigginsSD My son was diagnosed with Type I diabetes at 14. His first feeling that he really could continue playing competitive baseball was meeting Brandon Morrow at a Padres game. He went on to play baseball in college.
@BenHigginsSD My daughter was diagnosed with type one diabetes when she was nine years old. She is thirty-two now, but it's never been easy. God bless him.
@BenHigginsSD what an amazing gesture. thanks for sharing ben
