OMAHA, Neb. -- A locker in the clubhouse at TCU's Lupton Stadium belongs to 7-year-old Micah Ahern. When he made it to the park over the past three seasons, between innumerable doctor visits and stays at Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, Micah dressed in his Horned Frogs' gear. He grabbed a snack or a Gatorade and sat in the dugout alongside his teammates.
"Assuming he's not going to have that opportunity in the future," Micah's mother, Linda, said Friday, "he's living out his dream now."
