PERSPECTIVES: Ed and Christopher Lucas

In 1951, when he was only 12 years old, ED LUCAS was struck in the face by a baseball. The blow left him blind. Ed's mother would write letters to his baseball idols, and eventually Ed became friendly with many of the players. Ed Lucas grew up to become the first blind broadcaster to report on baseball.

Ed and his son Chris Lucas will join us on the next PERSPECTIVES to share Ed's inspiring stories. Their book is called SEEING HOME: THE ED LUCAS STORY.

First Aired April 2, 2016.
