Spencer Schwartz joins the show for his third appearance. Spencer, who has been a life-long Yankees fan and season ticket holder, shares his recent battle with a rare autoimmune disorder that led to the sudden loss of his eyesight.
In this episode, Spencer recounts his journey and shares how his life and love for baseball have been profoundly affected. From the initial diagnosis to the overwhelming support from the Twitter baseball community, he shares how his enduring passion for the game has helped him through this tough time.
We also discuss some touching experiences that followed, including how the Yankees fanbase rallied to ensure Spencer could attend Opening Day at Yankee Stadium despite his new challenges. You’ll also hear about how he continues to engage with the game he loves, adjusting to the realities of blindness, and how social media has been a surprising lifeline in his journey.
