题目内容:
This little girl has big baseball dreams. Hailey Dawson, a 7-year-old girl who uses a 3-D printed hand, wants to break the world record for the number of ceremonial first pitches(投,掷) at every major League Baseball (MLB) stadium- and teams are lining up to let her in. Dawson has Poland Syndrome(波兰综合征) that caused her to be born without the three middle fingers of her right hand.
Hailey Dawson throws out the first pitch using a 3-D printed hand at a Baltimore Orioles Game in 2015. Dawson has a 3-D printed “flexy” hand, which allows her to write and even play t-ball with her dominant right hand(惯用的右手). Dawson has worn the ‘flexy” hand since she was four, which is controlled by fishing wire. She has about 6 different hands for different purposes.
Her condition hasn’t stopped the sporty girl from longing to hold the Guinness World Record for the most number of first pitches and it looks like the MLB will help her make that happen. She’s already thrown the first pitch at two Major League games. “ Maybe she can throw one out in every Major League ballpark,” Dawson’s mom told SportTechie.com, “ That’s what I’m going to work on this summer.”
When Bleacher Report posted a video about Dawson wanting to throw the first pitch at every ballpark, several Major League teams enthusiastically asked how to get her contact information so that she could come to their stadium.
More than half of the remaining baseball teams have already reached out to try to schedule Dawson at a game, including the Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers, the Minnesota Twins, the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Florida Mariners, the San Diego Padres, the Oakland A’s and the San Francisco Giants. Even non-Major League teams are asking Dawson to come to their stadium, like Florida Gators, a college team, and the Sacramento River Cats, a minor league team.
