The Best We’ve Got “He Is Living A Perfect Game”

Arizona Sports and Entertainment Commission and Scientech member. 

The speaker will cover the remarkable life of Carl Erskine, one of the great human-rights champions of our time. From the dirt-poor alleys of Anderson, Indiana, to a storied career with the Brooklyn Dodgers’ fabled “Boys of Summer”, Carl Erskine lived the American Dream and spent his lifetime giving it to others. After his playing days, he returned to Anderson and spent the rest of his life as a Hoosier. Without Carl Erskine, we would not have the Special Olympics International. Erskine with the support of teammates, Jackie Robinson and Johnny Wilson, advocated for 60 years for people with intellectual disabilities such as his son, Jimmy. Carl helped effect profound social change through his core values of grace, humility and servant leadership.
