VANCOUVER - An Oregon little league baseball player has been reinstated and will play in his first game since being reinstated Thursday night. A big controversy arose for a little league team after the 12-year-old Oregon boy was kicked out of a game because he isn't your typical ballplayer, and the umpire said he wasn't wearing approved equipment. Some claimed discrimination... The Mariners take the field, but the lineup card is missing a name. "I’m usually on the field,” Jacob Garcia said. Now, Garcia is in the scorekeeper's box. "He's second base." "This isn't right and it's not fair." You quickly notice the tubes Jacob lives with. "He's been wearing it five years. He played with it all of this time, and all season,” Jacob’s mother, Linda Garcia said. He has a rare condition that causes scarring in his lungs and makes it difficult to breathe. An oxygen tank, strapped to his back, makes it possible for him to play ball. It's also what got him booted. “He was ejected from the game." “The umpire said I couldn't play because of my tank, because of my oxygen,” Jacob Garcia said. Little league rules don't say anything about oxygen tanks. “This might be the first time it's been addressed. Nationally? I would think so,” Vancouver Little League’s Dave Wallis said. Little league leaders say Jacob can't play until a national ruling...weeks away. “He's devastated because his dreams and his passion got yanked out from under him,” Linda Garcia said. “Things like this happen in life, but we really need to carry on and hope people make the right choices,” Jacob Garcia said. The umpire who ejected Jacob says the oxygen was not approved equipment. The Vancouver Little League is fighting to make sure it's approved nationwide.
