George was interviewed right after winning the World Series with the Houston Astros , as he was named the Willie Mays World Series MVP ! George has also been featured in hundreds of stories on a national and local level , many of which mention his stutter , and his advocacy for the kids & Camp SAY .
“ I had an epiphany ,’’ he said . “ I realized , seeing these kids and seeing the pain that they go through because they feel bullied and they feel isolated , and that ’ s so sad . So I decided right then and there , I ’ m going to expose myself as somebody who stutters , and if you see me in an interview or you see me on TV and I do it , I hope you do see it .”
George established the George Springer Kids Fund and hosts an Annual George Springer All-Star Bowling Benefit that has helped send many kids who stutter , from families-in-need , to Camp SAY .
