- Name: Dominic Arthur
- Age: 4
- Accomplishment: Dominic memorized all the words to “God Bless America” and sang it before a big crowd during the Opening Day Ceremony for Newark American League. Dominic’s dad, James Michael Arthur, says his son and Grasshopper player was also named one of the league’s best candy seller. Dominic won four San Francisco Giants tickets and a gift card after selling 26 boxes of chocolate bars.
- Key to Awesomeness: According to his dad, Dominic learned the words to “God Bless America” after watching San Francisco Giants games during the playoffs and the World Series. When fans started singing the patriotic tune during the 7th Inning, Dominic would ask his parents to hit rewind on the video so that he could listen to words.
