BONUS: Jake Burger's Powerful Mission Beyond Baseball

Texas Rangers first baseman Jake Burger sits down with Abby Jones for a powerful conversation about family, Players Weekend and the mission behind his foundation.

Burger discusses the special meaning behind his Players Weekend gear, which honors his daughter Penelope — affectionately known as Poppy — and the work his family is doing to raise awareness for Down syndrome.

He also opens up about the incredible support he's received from the Texas Rangers and his teammates, including the support they showed his family around Penelope's heart surgery.

Burger explains why being able to use his platform for something bigger than baseball means so much to him — and why he hopes people see the person before the baseball player.
