You are so right whdov88. There is alot of good going on in San Antonio and the area. I commend the story, but I stand by my opinion that WOAI doesn't deserve the accolades for the few good feeling stories they present. When they allow attacks on other reputable organizations, without responsibility, contradicts their other "fluff". God bless Ed and the Lone Star Baseball League for their honorable efforts. But don't take WOAI's false empathy as an honor. If you do something wrong, even minor, Randy and his cohorts will take you down.

Its people like ED who have a vision and see it through even in the face of adversity. He inspires us all to achieve dreams for our kids - the ones who cant possibly do it for themselves. We are greatful to Randy and WOAI for coming out and seeing our field of dreams and being a part of our special team and allowing us to honor him ..we are grateful to our hero ED for his commitment to make baseball a reality for our spec needs adults. On behalf of our kids who cannot speak for themselves or advocate for themselves- and for out volunteers and parents - we are very proud of ED and LONE STAR BASEBALL and its players! Thank you for lifting us up by honoring ED TAYLOR with the Jefferson Award he so deserves. Noting will ever take away from the importance of what these games have brought to our kids! Go Ed and LONE-STAR PLAY BALL! Thanks again to Randy and WOAI!

Hi Beamer. I caught your commercial about your Jefferson Award, and how you and WOAI want to commend those who do well in our community. However, your station continues to bad mouth others whenever sensationalism fits your needs. Case in point...you allowed a disgrunteled Mom who lied to you to about her experience with Sunshine Cottage School for Deaf Children. Yes, you commend others with a reward, but your station is constantly irresponsible in alot of your reporting because B.S. sells. You and your station can't have it both ways. To accept respect for your good stories, while bashing others makes you and your station a hyprocite, not someone we respect.

Thank you, Randy, for bringing attention to this league and thank you, Ed, for facilitating it. I have a niece with autism and a nephew with cerebral palsy who both play baseball in this league. I live in Washington state, so I don't get to be there, but they have fun telling all about it and who they saw there that day. They were both very active in Special Olympics in school, but now that they've graduated their recreational sports is very limited. It's people like Ed and all the volunteers who help make a positive difference in lives and the community.
