Robot to Help Ailing Boy Throw MLB First Pitch From 1,800 Miles Away

A boy sick with a rare disorder will throw out the first pitch at a Wednesday night MLB game from 1,800 miles away. How? Google Fiber and one high-tech robot

The kid's name is Nick LeGrande. He's 13 years old, a big-time baseball fan and he suffers from a rare blood disorder called aplastic anemia.

Nick's a great young baseball player but the condition doesn't let him play the game he loves or be around large crowds, at least for the time being. Nick sobbed when doctors told Nick he'd have to stay away from the game for a while, his mom says in the video above.
