His sister. One of Garrett’s little sisters was diagnosed with a terminal genetic syndrome called Sanfilippo Syndrome when she was 3. It’s a form of childhood dementia. Garrett knows how much his sister goes through everyday and that’s why he always gives even practice all he has.
The moment he hit his first Home run. Garrett has always struggled with his batting. He gets very frustrated with it but something just clicked with him this at bat and when he swung it was gone. He was so focused on getting to first base he didn’t even realize he had even hit it over the fence.
