During baseball season, when San Francisco Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti is through calling the bullpen, he usually calls his daughter, Natalee, in the evening.
They talk baseball. By the time Natalee hands the phone to her mother, often Dave is "all talked out," Kandice says with a smile.
A little more than 18 years ago, the Righettis' triplets were born. At the time, Dave was excited and torn up with the complications of their births.
Like her brother Wesley and her sister Nicolette, Natalee Righetti weighed less than 2 pounds when she was born.
Natalee was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and had limited movement on the left side of her body. Through countless hours of therapy growing up, and a personal drive and fiery optimism that she picked up along the way, Natalee has now become what her teachers call an inspiration.
