Samrath Singh is the first Sikh to compete wearing a turban in a Division 1 college baseball game, according to Boston College.
He says he was 2 or 4 when he first put it on, and like a limb, there wasn’t an exact moment when he became conscious of it. It’s just always been there.

“I don’t like to focus on when things have gone wrong or when people have been mean to me,” he said. “It’s much more important to hold that inner strength and focus on the outcomes I can control.”As a kid, his parents enrolled him in every sport possible, and he loved all of them. He swam, played basketball and also the viola, but he was always best at baseball.
