Prior to the stroke, Donnie worked as a bartender. He had no real direction. Coaching changed that. He learned to walk again. He enrolled in college, and is now studying to be a special-ed teacher. He volunteers at Arlington -- working with special-ed kids both in the classroom and on the baseball field where he has introduced them to the joys of whiffle ball.
"There's nothing like seeing these kids just run and smile and having fun," Donnie said. In fact, his life has changed so much; Donnie now says he's actually thankful he had that stroke.
