"I always wanted a little brother that I could play ball with, but Carlton just isn't able to do that. Most of the time he's too nervous to just hang out with me alone. My family didn't know about the treatments available to help him play ball or just 'hang out'. He's 14 now…I don't want another family to have to feel that void of a family member who's present."
Matt Kemp, talking about his brother Carlton, who is autistic, and one of the reasons he's co-hosting, with his agent Dave Stewart, Ante Up For Autism, a charity event on March 14 in Phoenix, AZ.
