    For everyone that has watched my segment through the Make a Wish and My Wish editions I want to thank you, I was not able to achieve my goal of pitching in the Majors but through my experience I have dedicated my life to helping others in need within the medical field. Thank you all for following the "My Wish" Series and hope they follow up every year with more stories. I'm so blessed to still be hear because of my little brother Mitch's sacrifice that I can give back and help others who are going through similar situations as my family and I were presented with nearly 10 years ago. Thank you all!
    Sincerely, Matt Vosejpka

    Hello Everyone! My name is Mitch Vosejpka; I am Matthew's younger brother who gave him bone marrow. I just wanted to say to all of you thank you for all of the wonderful and supportive comments that you guys have left for this posting of my brother's journey. It is highly appreciated even after many years.

      God bless you and your family MItch. I love these Make A Wish stories. They are so inspiring. I am sure the Rocket was as blessed by Matt, as Matt was by him. That seems to always be the case.

      @TreyMeans3 7 лет назад +2

      I thought it was really cool that Clemens went above and beyond to show him some tips. He didn't just show up and give him some gear...he genuinely took an interest in teaching the kid something. That's pretty special.

    I can watch this all day. I know about Clemens but this was still amazing. And that still of Clemens hunkered down coaching Matt while he's in the kick...that's a world class picture. I hope all is well for Matt, his wicked amazing brother Mitch and the whole family.

    One thing I notice in all of these is the kid is so nonchalent. I would be hugging, jumping with joy, excited. None of these kids do that. I would be beyond thrilled.
