Descripción

Robert Santee, also known as Dr. Robert Santee, is introduced as a living legend and former Houston Astros player (1:03-1:09). He was the Astros' first black player, drafted by them at 17 years old as their number one pick (1:53-1:56, 14:47-14:54). His early life was marked by significant challenges: * Polio and late walking: He couldn't walk until he was 10 years old due to polio, crawling like an animal (4:46-4:48, 6:46-6:48). * Supportive mother: His mother, who worked two jobs to feed five kids by herself, never gave up on him and taught him to play sports while he was still crawling (4:52-5:12, 10:46-10:48). She also signed him with the Astros, a decision influenced by George Bush Sr., who was a part-owner of the team (16:04-16:18). * Difficult childhood: He came from a hard life, eating "sugar sandwiches" and not having much (5:20-5:24). He also experienced not being told "I love you" by his mother, though he knew she did through her actions (10:36-10:42). He had a lot of hate growing up due to his circumstances (11:40-11:46). * Near-death experience: He was bitten by his own dog around seven or eight years old and received 100 rabies shots (7:22-7:27). Despite his initial preference for basketball, where he was a standout player (15:00-15:02, 16:45-16:55), he excelled in baseball. He mastered every sport he tried (6:00-6:11) and was compared to Michael Jordan in his high school athletic abilities (20:06-20:20). Santee also shares his experience of spending 22 years in prison, 14 of which were in solitary confinement (1:59-2:03). He mentioned that he "walked out the door after 30 years" (9:30-9:36), which made him a better person (9:39). After his release, he met his wife and never looked back (6:31-6:34). Today, he is a pastor, a mentor, and the founder of the Santee Foundation (2:05-2:15).
