What an Adventure Photographer and an MLB Pitcher have in Common

Daniel Norris and Ben Moon met on Instagram. 

Moon is an outdoor adventure photographer who became widely known after he made an incredible video about his battle with cancer, and how his dog, Denali, helped him through it all. Daniel Norris is a Major League Baseball pitcher for the Detriot Tigers who uses his offseason to travel around and live in his beat up van. Norris has also had his own bout with cancer. 

In Beyond the Offseason, the unlikely duo road trip together and bond over their shared love for photography and the outdoors, and their past with cancer. By the end of the trip, they really do feel (and look) like brothers. 

"The one thing that stood out to me the most about Daniel was that he valued experience over things," Moon says in the video, "all he needed was strong coffee, and lots and lots of eggs." 

Great edit, great story
