Tonight Garrett Mitchell reached over the wall in center field and took a home run away from the San Diego Padres.

He did it with an insulin pump in his back left pocket.

He fell to the 14th round out of high school because of what is in that pocket.

Start in the third grade.

He told his mother he did not feel well. He was going to the bathroom about once an hour and his stomach hurt.

Shannon Van Dyke had her son's blood sugar tested. A healthy number is around 80. The meter would not give her a number at all. It just read HIGH. The real figure was over 600.

"I remember my heart dropping, being afraid, and not knowing what to do or what our future looked like."

He got the pump at 10. She began setting an alarm for 2 or 3 in the morning to test him while he slept. She has said those years felt like having a newborn.

He kept playing. He carried a bag everywhere with snacks, insulin and sugar in it.

By his senior season at Orange Lutheran High School in California he was one of the best young outfielders in the country, and scouts had him going somewhere in the first three rounds.

He went in the 14th. The Oakland Athletics took him.

His coach at UCLA, John Savage, said the diabetes hurt his draft value. There were, in his words, lingering questions about it.

His agent Scott Boras later put a number on what it cost. Without the condition, Boras said, Mitchell could have been a top 5 pick.

So he turned the Athletics down and went to UCLA instead.

In three seasons there he hit .327. He hit 15 triples, second most in the history of that program, and his 12 in 2019 set a UCLA record and led all of college baseball.

In June of 2020 the Milwaukee Brewers took him 20th overall in the first round. He signed for $3,242,900.

"My hands were shaking."

Now here is the part that tells you what this actually costs him.

On September 13 of this year, Milwaukee took him out of a game in the middle of the afternoon. He was not injured.

"We took him out precautionary. He had high blood sugar."

His manager Pat Murphy added that it happens a lot going from a night game to a day game, and that the team keeps working on it.

That was three and a half weeks ago.

Tonight he robbed a home run in a game San Diego had to win, and Milwaukee is going to the National League Championship Series.

His mother once described the pump like this.

"You will notice it in his back left pocket. It never leaves his body, even when he's playing."

This election fraud narrative is crazy! Mike Rogers (R) is within MAJOR striking distance of Abdul El-Sayed (D) in Michigan’s Senate race—separated by just 1 point!
If Michigan flips red, the Democrats LOSE control of the Senate! Michigan, wake up and vote RED! 🚨🔥

Michael P. Desronvil. America hero. The only juror who wanted to hold a woman accountable for murdering her three little children one by one. You do not deserve to be targeted or doxxed or attacked for doing the right thing. May God bless you and your family and keep you safe.

The definition of America last.

Denaturalize and deport

[Jesse Kelly @JesseKellyDC]

This is not acceptable. This is humiliating for the country. I don’t know what needs to be done, but we have to stop this.

The senate is not hospice.

WOAH 🚨 An addiction recovery center in Minnesota accused of stealing millions with fake Medicaid billing has just been exposed to have another account with $25 MILLION

They’ve used our stolen tax money to buy:

- 3 Minnesota homes
- $10.4 million in charges
- $3.5 million on leather goods and luggage
- $380k jewelry and watches
- $150k clothing and shoes
- One month of LV charges alone was $440,000

June 2024 spending alone included

- $35k at Fendi
- $57k at LV
- $13k at Hermès
- $64k private jet
- $41k Airbnb

And now a $25 million CD has been discovered

Some of the craziest items they bought were

- 3 Minnesota homes

- Rolex Oyster Mickey Mouse edition that’s 18kt yellow gold with genuine Rolex crocodile band

- Louis Vuitton trunks and hard-side luggage including additional jewelry trunks

- Louis Vuitton black mink coat and other fur pieces

- Gents diamond cluster rings and fashion rings that were 14kt gold pieces with 7–59 diamonds, plus EFFY, Kabana, and Gabriel & Co. platinum diamond rings

- 18kt yellow gold and diamond Louis Vuitton pendant on an 18kt LV chain, plus other 14kt gold diamond heart pendants and Tiffany pearl and diamond pieces

- Louis Vuitton Tambour watches

Again, this is all with our stolen tax money with fake Medicaid billing in Minnesota

Tim Walz and Democrats allowed this and would have never did anything to stop them if it wasn’t for Trump getting elected

A California man saw an ICE operation unfolding at Home Depot and decided to slash the tires of the agents’ vehicle.

He then got ragdolled, maced in the face, and arrested.

This is what I voted for.

Tom Tiffany is running for governor of Wisconsin.

Tonight he was on an airplane that lost power.

The pilot performed and emergency landing and they landed on Lake Wausau.

As the plane began to fill up with water, rescuers arrived.

Tiffany and the pilot only got minor injuries.

Thank God for the pilot.
