Today marks ten years since Ed Lucas was married at home plate in Yankee Stadium

Legendary sports broadcaster Ed Lucas was married in at home plate in Yankee Stadium on this day 10 years ago. Blind from age 12, Lucas' story is one of determination and passion for the game.

On March 10, 2006, Ed Lucas was married for the second time in his long and fascinating life. His marriage was notable not because he was a blind sportswriter in his sixties who had made a living describing sports to the masses, but because it happened on home plate at Yankee Stadium. A sportswriting giant who sits in three different Halls of Fame, Lucas' career stretches back to the 1960s, and his life illustrates that determination makes everything possible.
