The relationship at the heart of Kramer’s Corner

Fayetteville, AR (KNWA/KFTA) – Kramer’s Corner has been a fixture in left field at Bogle Park over the past couple of seasons.

The sign honors left fielder Raigan Kramer. The corner was created by Teresa Musselman and Tanya Bullington after Raigan made an effort to get to know Teresa’s daughter Kennedy.

Kennedy has autism and quickly became a large fan of Raigan. Musselman, Bullington, and others make sure they attend every game at Bogle Park.

When Raigan started being the starting player for left field she kind of picked up real quick on Kennedy and her special needs,” Musselman said. “She just kind of gave her some extra attention and so for us that’s everything.”

I got the team to sign a ball for her and I gave it to them, that’s what started the whole Kramer’s Corner,” Raigan Kramer said. “I started talking to them more because of Kennedy.”

What began with a signed softball has grown into much, much more. The Kramer family and those involved with Kramer’s corner eat meals together. During the offseason, Raigan and her siblings attended a Chiefs game with the Musselmans.

“To be able to grow that relationship with her and for me to have like conversations with her not only in left field during the game but after the game and what not,” Kramer said. “I hope she remembers it for a long time.”

“That’s what makes this little girl that sits next to me happy is to see [Raigan] right there,” Bullington said.
