Her husband and the rest of the team are all much younger, middle-aged men, yet they’ve welcomed this older man to play alongside them. One night, at 2:30 a.m., he sent a message.
In it, he thanked the team for letting him join their games. He admitted he’s aware he might not contribute much, but being included gives him a reason to get out of bed every morning.

"I don't know if I will get another year in the league or not. I don't buy GREEN bananas anymore. But I do know, this will be the year of ball play I remember. All because of 14 great people."
The TikTok post has racked up over 14 million views, with thousands of people flooding the comments.
