HOUSTON -- Belinda Sheldon once spent five days in a coma due to complications from breast cancer treatment, but she spent this Mother's Day surrounded by family and with her favorite baseball team.
Sheldon, a Humble, Texas, resident, is the Houston-area recipient of Major League Baseball's Honorary Bat Girl program this season. She was recognized on the field prior to Sunday's game against Seattle, meeting Jake Marisnick and throwing out the first pitch to Chris Devenski.
Sheldon was joined for the pregame festivities by her four children and husband, Erik, who nominated her for the Bat Girl honor.
