All-Star Strength and Support: On and Off the Mound - With Kristi and Liam Hendriks

Three-time All-Star Pitcher, Six-time Roberto Clemente Award nominee, (and Run to Home Base Captain) Liam Hendriks, and entrepreneur and philanthropist Kristi Hendriks join Dr. Ron Hirschberg for a conversation at Home Base. As the Red Sox welcome Liam to the team, he and Kristi reflect on living the baseball life over the years including the comaradarie and the challenges, the causes they support, and how military lineage runs in their families. Liam talks about his own battle against Stage IV non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2022, and the return to pitching the following year along with Kristi's ongoing support. Kristi highlights the key bonds with fellow baseball wives and the special connection to each community, and both Liam and Kristi share their love for the Bruins and how they enjoy kicking back to watch a great hockey game. 

Many thanks to Kristi and Liam Hendriks for visiting us at Home Base and for your support of this mission to stomp stigma, treat invisible wounds of veterans and military families, and be part of a growing team charged with saving lives. Best of luck Liam in the upcoming 2025 Season after reporting at Pitchers and Catchers - in just a few weeks.
