The Milwaukee Brewers placed a ceremonial jersey in their dugout Friday to honor 8-year-old Cooper Roberts, who is a fan of the team and was left paralyzed from the waist down when he was shot at the Highland Park 4th of July parade.
"The strength to go through something like that is unimaginable," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said before the team’s game Friday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates. "We’re doing such a small thing, but hopefully it can maybe make one part of the day for them a little bit better."The family of 8-year-old Cooper Roberts fear the boy may never walk again after he was shot at the Highland Park parade.
The Brewers said in a statement that "we are working on other initiatives to connect players with Cooper and his family, but the priority for now is to focus on their recovery." "We’re happy he’s a Brewer fan and want to recognize that and let their family know we’re thinking about them," Counsell said.that I have read and agree
