"It was so much fun, and I’m so happy to be part of this historic moment where the Mariners get to go to the playoffs for the first time," said Sapru. "I think we are going to win. We are going to win the whole thing, hopefully."
The Evergreen Middle School student says he was in treatment in St. Louis for Burkitt Lymphoma for a good part of 2021. He says his family had gone to visit an uncle there when he fell ill and needed treatment. "I was in St. Louis because we were visiting my uncle there. We were on vacation, and I was like, I wasn’t feeling great. So, we went to St. Louis, and we went to the hospital there, and I found out I had leukemia," said Sapru.
Since his father says Sapru couldn’t fly at that time, he completed much of that treatment in St. Louis before returning home to western Washington in late 2021. "It was pretty cool, I think. I’ve never been on a field or anything like this," he said. "I’m just really excited to be here and get to run all the bases."
