Patrick was born with no eyes and an illness in the legs, which3 him lame for life. However, as a child, he was 4 with artificial eyes and placed in a wheelchair.

His father was overjoyed. "We might not play baseball, but we can play music together."

When Patrick was at the University of Louisville, his father 6 classes with him. He was also a part of the 214-member marching band!
