OAKLAND -- With his own grandson on the mound hurling the horsehide, a ceremonial first pitch at Sunday's A's game was caught by a man who has lived with Parkinson's Disease for over 20 years. "I don't drive anymore. I said if I can't drive and I can't play golf, I don't want to be alive," said 78-year-old Dan Cochrane. Cochrane said he no longer feels that way although he admits Parkinson's has changed every part of that life.
In 2004, son Robert decided they should finish their goal of visiting all 30 ballparks, starting with their local -- and favorite -- team, the Oakland A's.In the past 18 years, Robert Cochrane, a filmmaker, has made three documentaries about their Parkinson's-inspired ballpark journey to raise awareness and help people better understand the disease."It's coming full circle," Robert Cochrane said.
