Landis will throw out the first pitch Tuesday at Yankee Stadium, the
start of a July tour that will see him throw out the first pitch in
San Diego, San Francisco and Houston.

Eric Cochran was looking for an inspirational story eight years ago
when he visited a softball team camp for limb-deficient kids in
Mission Viejo, Calif., put on by the Wounded Warrior Project.

Cochran, a veteran cinematographer, planted himself in the bleachers.
He was there for all of about 90 seconds when he fixed his eyes on an
8-year-old who was working with Matias Ferreira, a former Marine who
lost both legs below his knees while serving in Afghanistan in 2011.

"Picture this little, kind of roly poly kid on prosthetic legs and
he´s got the bat tucked against his body," Cochran said. "And he´s
just rifling shot after shot and talking smack. I´m like, `Who the
hell is this kid?´"
