Episode Details

Colin Holderman, Guardians pitcher, wears a tattoo reading “My Sister’s Keeper” to honor his sister Taylor, who lives with Angelman Syndrome—a rare condition that delays development and often causes seizures. Misdiagnosed early as autism or cerebral palsy, Taylor was finally correctly identified as a toddler. Nonverbal and reliant on her parents, she shares an unbreakable bond with Colin, who grew up alongside her and now visits her at every game. A passionate advocate, he attended high school with Taylor through Best Buddies, competed in Special Olympics, and uses his platform to raise awareness, hosting events and partnering with the Angelman Syndrome Foundation to connect isolated families. He even embraces the autism puzzle piece symbol, recognizing symptom overlaps. After his baseball career, he plans to launch his own foundation—dedicated to continuing this mission—to ensure no family feels alone in their journey.
