The Indianapolis Indians took a stand to strike out bullying by honoring a Covington teenager who died by suicide after being bullied.
“I’m trying to hold it all in right now,” Terry said.
His son, Terry Badger III, also known as TB3, dreamed of playing on fields just like the one found at Victory Field, with crowds cheering his name“It replays every day of my life. Every day. It was the worst day of my life,” Terry said. “The thing I’m thinking in the back of my head is that he’s here.”The Indianapolis Indians held a ceremony to honor TB3. The field was marked with the number 44 — the same number he wore on his back.
“He loved the outdoors and shined in the classroom and on the baseball field,” the announcement honoring TB3 at the Indians game said. The first pitch of Friday night’s baseball game was thrown by TB3’s uncle with his family and baseball friends standing nearby.“I told him every day, ‘You keep doing work. You have a purpose, and you keep doing work all around the world,’” Terry said.“He was a protector. He didn’t want to see people getting picked on. He would help that person,” Terry said. “You never know what another kid is going through. Just accept people for who they are.”“I don’t want anyone else to feel that way.
In extreme cases, the victim or the bully can be transferred to another school, at the victim’s request.
