Watch Michael Mullins, A Man Born With Down Syndrome, Sing The National Anthem At A Boston Red Sox Game

My wife sent me a link to this really cool story yesterday about  38 year old Michael Mullins (who happens to have been born with Down syndrome) a die hard Boston Red Sox fan who’s dream of singing the national anthem at Fenway Park finally came true!

Michael really hit a home run with his version of the national anthem (pun intended!) Click play on the video below to see for yourself.

I also enjoyed this video of Michael rehearsing with a person I assume is his dad. If so, I really love the fact that he has such a supportive dad!

I really appreciate whoever sat this up at the Boston Red Sox organization. Way to go guys!

Hi, I'm Noah's Dad and I'm passionate about giving the world a window into our life as we raise our son who was born with Down syndrome. I also enjoy connecting with other families, so let's stay connected.

  • He has some voice! Wow! Such an awesome experience. Thanks for much for sharing the video.

  • As a father of a new awesome little girl who also happens to have Down Syndrome, stories like this are uplifting and also a reminder to stay focused on the present and not let these years slip away with worry. Down Syndrome is just something she has not who she is or will be.

  • Hi, It was impressive and exciting to see his singing. The video gives hope. Thank you.
    Our son Matan is still a baby (one year and three months) but we are hopeful to see his achievements.

  • Kudos to Mike! Great job. And kudos to the Boston Red Sox organization. Wish more professional teams used local fans like Mike to sing our National Anthem.

  • Great video. My son (who is named Noah, too) has Down syndrome. Only thought I have is it would be nice to not have Black Eyed Peas as background music for this clip. The Black Eyed Peas have a very popular song titled: "Let's Get Retarded". Let's let everyone know that the "R" word is unacceptable.

  • Hi I am a mother of one month old daughter who is born with down syndrome. I am trying to gather as much as information to understand this condition . I am really worried for my daughter future.Please give me some advise.
