The heartwarming video is going viral and is bringing more attention to the local special-needs baseball league holding the game.
A video showing a Long Island boy with Down Syndrome dancing as he scores a home run in a baseball game is going viral and it's easy to see why.
The heartwarming video comes from Kristine Squiteri Fitzpatrick, who runs the League of YES, which is a baseball league created for people with special needs and disabilities so they can enjoy the game.
The video, which has been viewed more than 2.6 million times so far, shows one of the league's players rounding the bases after hitting a home run. After rounding third, he takes a few seconds to show off his impressive moves.
