At Pro Baseball games across the country, 12-year-old Cooper Murray's in a league of his own. What's his personality like?

He is so awesome.

He's earned the nickname, Extra Super Cooper.

Cooper's on a mission, along with mom, Andrea, and dad, braided, to throw out the first pitch at every Major League ballpark in the nation. Great pitch, Cooper. To raise awareness and money to help families adopt kids like him with Down syndrome and other special needs. Children. Their nonprofit is called Rod's Heroes.

On average, an adoption cost is around $40,000 to be able to adopt internationally. And so we raise adoption grants to help offset those costs.

Andrea and braided adopted Cooper from China eight years ago. To join their family roster that's now grown to 11 kids. You have 11 children?

We do. Yeah. Seven adopted.

Plus we have our four biological children. Come on, slide, buddy. Slide.

Cooper has been stealing hearts and bases ever since.

He kept asking if he could play baseball. He did amazingly well. Go, buddy. Go.

Cooper's passion for the game and the Murray's efforts caught the attention of the Chicago Cubs last year, so they brought him to the mound for the very first time. What was his reaction after the first one?

I mean, he celebrated like he genuinely just won the World Series. You ready? Yeah. Let's go.

More invites soon came Cooper's way.

Yeah. All right.

Now, with five down, this boy of summer isn't stopping until he's knocked it out of the park park with all 30 Major League teams. Each one, a field of dreams. Their love and acceptance are the real home runs. When you're watching your boy, what goes through your head?

Just by him doing something he's passionate about, it just brings out the best in other people.
