Seven-year-old Hailey Dawson wants to throw out a first pitch at all 30 MLB ballparks. She crossed another one off her list on Saturday. 

Hailey was born with a birth defect that left her missing three fingers on her right hand, so she uses a prosthetic made by a 3D-printer. Her story about wanting to throw a first pitch at every stadium went viral back in September and many teams quickly reached out to help make it happen. 

She never mentioned wanting to throw out a World Series pitch, so Saturday’s appearance at Minute Maid Park was just an added bonus. 

If you look closely, you can also see that Hailey wore a special World Series-branded hand for the occasion.
