NEW YORK - The Rangers are working to allow the subject of one of the most inspirational stories of the season meet his hero: Rougned Odor.

Nine-year-old Kohen Grantham of Coahoma, located midway between Abilene and Midland, became the subject of a viral Tweet after he was filmed batting and running despite lacking the use of his lowerlegs due to a series of disorders. With his legs wedged around the piping of a walker, Kohen balances atop the device to hit, then springs out of it and runs on all fours to the base. After a video of him was viewed more than 181,000 times, MLB Network aired a story on him Wednesday.
