Jack Flaherty’s journey began with a single mom who adopted him at 3 weeks old. She believed in him more than anyone, pushing him to keep going when times were hard.
In high school, he almost quit baseball. His mom’s only request was simple: “You can, as long as you tell your little brother it’s okay to give up when things get tough.” That kept Jack fighting.
Years later, he stood on the pitcher’s mound in the NLCS. Before the lights, before the cameras, before the celebration—his eyes searched the stands for her. Because no matter how far you go, family always comes first.
