Winning through serving: Baylor baseball hosts Shriner’s patient during fall practice

Since his arrival to Baylor University in 2015, head baseball coach Steve Rodriguez’s biggest goal has been to shape the lives of his players through more than just baseball. One way Rodriguez and his staff have attempted to achieve that goal is by continuing Baylor baseball’s partnership with the Shriner’s Hospitals for Children, which began in 2012.

“I tell a lot of people this — you can win a lot of things, and it doesn’t always have to be on the field all the time,” Rodriguez said.

On Friday, the Bears hosted 15-year-old Tyler Credeur, a burn survivor who said the Shriner’s Hospital in Galveston saved him after a tragic bonfire accident in November 2018.
