"Sarah has reminded us that baseball is more than stats and scores, it's about resilience, community, and lifting each other up.Simply put, in her iconic motto, baseball is the best. Sarah embodies everything the AMF Legacy Award stands for - courage, passion, and a commitment to making baseball better for everyone."
