Boy with 2 types of cancer bats in championship baseball game with help from team [Video]

SEVERNA PARK, Md. (WJZ) – An 8-year-old Maryland boy with two types of cancer and a lot of persistence joined his baseball team on the field for every game this season – from opening day to the championship.

Clyde Hicks, 8, has a rare genetic condition that led to cancer in his spine and his brain. As he began spinal treatments in December 2023, he wished to play baseball with his Severna Park Little League team in the spring.

After 30 sessions of radiation treatment, the 8-year-old joined his teammates for their first game on opening day. His brain cancer was diagnosed in April, but even that didn’t stop him from being on the field.
