12-year-old Xavier Taylor from Maple Shade, NJ, remains in extremely critical condition on a ventilator after a heartbreaking freak accident on May 26. ⚾💔
While warming up before a youth baseball game at Fellowship Columbia Bank Field, Xavier — a passionate pitcher/shortstop who lives for the game — was walking back to the dugout when an errant throw from a teammate struck him in the neck. He collapsed and went into cardiac arrest. His dad (a retired firefighter) rushed to him, and Xavier was airlifted to Cooper University Hospital.
His father, Greg Taylor, has stressed it was a complete **freak accident with no one to blame**. Xavier, known for writing Bible verses on his hats and playing on multiple teams, is fighting hard. The family is holding onto faith and miracles.
The community has rallied with prayer vigils, “Bats Out for X,” #6 shirts, and massive support. Videos of the vigils, father’s emotional updates, and local news coverage are circulating widely on TikTok — search #XavierStrong for raw community moments.
**A prayer shared for Xavier & his family:**
“Heavenly Father, we lift up Xavier Taylor to You. You know every detail of his life. Before he needed a miracle, he followed You, prayed to You, and wore Your Scriptures. Surround his family with peace. Lord, we ask for a miracle. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” 🙏
Prayers up for full recovery, strength for the Taylors, and the whole Maple Shade baseball family. He will play again.

@RepThomasMassie Ro Khanna was supportive of a federal tax on unrealized capital gains while he’s enriched himself to tens of millions while in congress. The guy sucks and is the problem with the Washington, what the hell are you doing?
@douglassmackey Retirement is a modern concept though, up to less than 100 years ago this wasn’t a thing. I don’t begrudge people that want to keep working if they are still vibrant and love their jobs, who cares what age they are?
@libsoftiktok Blame it on the state. Healey has stolen billions to fund illegals and now towns are running out of $ for basic services and festivities. Small towns like Rutland rely on state $ that has been stolen from taxpayers. Get mad at beacon hill not the local select board there!!
@islantstudio Nah, anything with a motor in it that is used off your own private property should be regulated. You want to bypass the regulation use a real bike with no electric motor in it and pedal!
@MattWalshBlog Guy has never heard of a large brimmed hat? Also the guy will be vitamin D deficient for the rest of his life. He can supplement all he wants but there is no replacement for getting that skin interaction from the sun. Lastly, living life like a gigantic pussy is not enjoyable
@philthatremains Eliminate fraud but also fire 80% of the federal government. The reason there is rampant fraud is because the federal bureaucracy has grown into a cancerous https://t.co/H5v6cry5UC’s easy to cheat and steal when you have thousands of useless unaccountable government workers
@nut_history Did he piss me off as a Red Sox fan? Yes all the time but he was still a damn good announcer. Him and Joe Buck were a great announcing duo.
