Nick Santonastasso is a medical miracle. Not only is he one of four people alive with the rare genetic condition, Hanhart Syndrome, the inspirational keynote speaker is an internationally known bodybuilder and fitness model – despite missing both his legs and one arm since birth. The high-energy youth shares his amazing story, showing people that anyone can thrive if they have the determination and willpower to go after what they want. When Nick was born, the doctors handed his parents a long list of things that he would never be able to do.” Nick’s parents politely thanked them and threw the list out. They raised Nick the same way they had raised his three able-bodied older siblings and instilled in him never to let the world tell him what he could or couldn’t do.

Each year thousands pack downtown St. Louis for one of the best days of the year. We see the red jackets, former Cardinal greats, World Series Trophies, the Clydesdale horses, and our beloved Birds. With our world being slowed down because of the COVID-19 (and baseball not happening) our goal is simple. To still give you some time with some baseball stories, memories and hopefully lots of laughs.
