Springer hosts fundraiser for kids who stutter

HOUSTON -- George Springer isn't looking for a "cure" for stuttering or some magic potion that can miraculously make it go away. Rather, he has one simple motivation as spokesman for Camp SAY, a camp for kids who stutter: He wants kids to understand that it's OK to stutter, and it should never take away from living a full, quality life.

Springer, who has had a stutter all of his life, held an All-Star bowling benefit Monday at Lucky Strike in downtown Houston to raise funds for kids who want to attend the camp. Many of those kids were at the event, and they listened intently as the Astros right fielder passed along his words of wisdom: Don't let something you can't control dictate how you live your life.
