Liam Doxsee, 9, dances for the Iowa softball team before a softball game at Bob Pearl Softball Field in Iowa City, Iowa, on Friday, Sept. 22, 2023. Liam’s mother Mary Matheson said Liam always asks the question “Why me?” to all the opportunities he receives. “I try to remind him that, you know, he gets these for a reason and there’s a purpose behind it and that he deserves it,” Matheson said.
