Mo is currently able to walk and see, kicking it up there with Frank Robinson. He was such a special kid. I’m heartbroken.

Re: Mo Gaba
The Athletic posted an overpowering story on Mo, written by Brittany Ghiroli and Jeff Zrebiec.
One snippet in particular struck me, about former Orioles pitcher Zach Britton coming back to town as a Yankee. He noted an incredible purple and orange sunset that he'd never seen in Baltimore before. Within minutes he picked up his phone and saw a message that Mo had passed.
The Yankee PR guy took this photo within an hour of Mo's death.
The story relates Britton's reaction...
“I was like, ‘Holy shit,’” said Britton, who immediately sent the sunset photo and the story to his former teammate and current Orioles slugger Trey Mancini. “Whatever you believe in, I don’t know. Sometimes there’s just signs that something bigger happened. That he’s in a better place, maybe that was the sign for me.”

Re: Mo Gaba
As sighted individuals able to see the games of baseball and football being actually played - we can never comprehend how Mo had to have visualized those games in his mind - without EVER having seen the games played.
How does on describe such games so that the make sense to one that is unable to actually SEE the what is being described.
Now Mo is in the position to see what he never could in life.
RIP Mo!

Here's a link to the story.
Most of The Athletic is behind a paywall, but this story is open to all:

Re: Mo Gaba
This young man was such an incredible light and inspiration. Saying he’ll be missed is a huge understatement but few leave marks on people like he did. Rest in Paradise Mo!
Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.
