NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Nashville Sounds will have its first Saturday home game of the season and it will be a special day for one fan who will become an honorary player.
Lane is in the fifth grade and he will be signed as part of the team Saturday at noon during the "Meet the Team" lunch for season ticket holders.
The Sounds said Lane will spend several days and nights with the team throughout the season practicing and hanging with them in the clubhouse.
Lane was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor in October 2022.
He has had a successful surgery to remove the tumor and receives continued care at Monroe Carell Junior Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
The Sounds said throughout his treatments, Lane has shown incredible strength and bravery.
This is part of an ongoing partnership between the Sounds and the Children's Hospital.
He will be signed just hours before Saturday night's game at 6:35 p.m. against the St. Paul Saints.
Young or old, we all love to play board and card games! Those games become even more important when you are indoors and don't have the ability to get outside, like patients in a hospital. Austin Pollack shares the story of students in a Nashville family who have helped re-launch the Red Wagon project to collect games for patients at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
