MLB Network to profile two members of Astros RBI program

Two young Houston athletes will be profiled as part of a documentary prepared during the recent RBI World Series that will air at 10 a.m. Sunday on MLB Network.

The “Building Dreams” programs will include footage from games and related events associated with the RBI event in Arlington. Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities is an Major League Baseball program designed to improve baseball and softball opportunities for urban children, and its recent World Series featured 24 youth baseball and softball teams representing 18 cities, including two teams from Houston.

Profiled from the Astros’ RBI baseball team will be Tyrone Thomas, who was diagnosed a year ago with a condition that put him at risk for sudden cardiac arrest.
