Front Office Taylor Duncan
CEO, President, and Chief Fun Officer
Taylor Duncan, diagnosed with autism at the age of 4, is the Founder (Chief Executive Officer) of Alternative Baseball. Additionally, Taylor speaks on the topics of inclusivity, societal integration, creativity, innovation, making an impact on others through one’s passions, defying adversity, and more. Duncan, a current student majoring in Nonprofit Business Administration at Toccoa Falls College, has completed comprehensive umpire training through Atlanta International Umpires, a Nonprofit Management program through Kennesaw State University, and has earned numerous awards through Toastmasters International.
Yahr (2021) tells us to ‘bring your glove and get on the field’. She writes that players can be of any or no experience to participate in Alternative Baseball. There are opportunities for boys and girls, teens and adults (ages 15+) to play traditional baseball, judgment free.
< My Thoughts > “…‘bring your glove and get on the field’…”
Our Sonny enjoyed a brief season ‘playing’ Challenger Little League, as a youth. The team had community sponsors who provided equipment, uniforms, and made baseball cards for the each team. Taylor Duncan’s Alternative Baseball seems like the next step. Look for a team near you. Or, start your own!
