Born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus, 15-year-old Oakley Hansen has spent more of his life in a hospital than at home. Then in 2001, he suffered a traumatic brain injury that limited his intellectual capacity to that of a 3-year-old. That is, unless you want to talk sports. No one is quite sure where Oakley developed his passion for athletics. His parents, Melissa and Van Hansen, aren't sports fans and are unfamiliar with many of the names and factoids Oakley recites.
