A young Phillies fan who overcame cancer was invited by the team to throw out ceremonial first pitch before game 4 of the World Series.

Luke Theodosiades, 19, was diagnosed with A.L.L., or, Acute lymphoblastic leukemia as a 7th grader. Ironically, his family says baseball helped raise a red flag about Luke's health.

Luke's white blood cell count was sky-high, signaling a shocking and scary cancer diagnosis that was far beyond what Luke and his family were expecting. The trial study worked to squash Luke's cancer to non-detectable levels. He underwent a bone marrow transplant in 2016 with help from his younger brother Niko and has been cancer-free ever since.
