On  my 13 birthday, he threw me a special party.When everybody was gone, he brought me a set of boxing gloves.We put them on.My dad continued to  beat  me mercilessly.Each time I  begged  him to stop.He told me I was a man now and things would be extra  tough  for me.That same year, I was the only kid in my neighborhood that wasn't  picked  for Little League.Everybody laughed at me.Two weeks  [MASK]  , Dad started the Shed Park Minor League.Dad coached the Yankees and  made  me a pitcher .In high school, I became a football star.The  power  of my dad's love guaranteed I walked and more.In 1997, a brain doctor in San Jose told me I didn't have cerebral palsy  after all  .
