As a lifelong baseball fan who has been involved with the game for more than 40 years, Perry Brock believes everyone should have an opportunity to play. He has worked as the convener for the Thornhill Baseball Club's Diamond Division for almost a decade to ensure that children of all abilities can participate and have fun. In recognition of his efforts to make baseball accessible to special needs children, Brock was presented with the Civic Hero Award for Ward 5 by Vaughan Council last month. The Diamond Division allows kids with developmental challenges to enjoy the benefits of a safe athletic environment that is structured to their abilities. Parents take part in the game with their children and learn the fundamentals of baseball and how it feels to be part of a team.
