💙⚾🙏 TONIGHT, TAKE ONE MINUTE FOR THE BOY WEARING NUMBER 6.

For more than three months, 12-year-old Xavier Taylor and his family have been living through a journey no parent ever imagined.

What began as an ordinary baseball day changed in an instant when Xavier was struck by a baseball during warmups and suffered a devastating injury. He was rushed to the hospital, where his family has remained by his side.

Since then, something remarkable has happened.

A community has refused to let Xavier’s family feel alone.

Young players have worn No. 6 in his honor.

Baseball communities have gathered.

Bats have been placed outside homes.

Blue lights have illuminated places in his honor.

And prayers have continued from people who have never even met him.

Tonight, that love continues through “Rise Up and Xave.”

You don’t need to be at a stadium.

You don’t need to know Xavier personally.

You don’t even need to have the perfect words.

Just take one quiet minute.

Close your eyes.

Think of a 12-year-old boy who loves baseball.

Think of his parents sitting beside him, refusing to give up hope.

Think of his teammates and friends who still wear his number.

And say his name:

Xavier. 💙

🙏 One minute.
One prayer.
One family holding on to hope.
One little boy still being surrounded by love.

Tonight, wherever you are, please pause for Xavier.

Keep fighting, Xavier.
Keep believing, Taylor family.
No. 6 is still being carried by an entire community. 💙⚾🙏
