Those of you who know me will admit I'm not an overly sentimental or mushy kind of guy. I do however have a soft spot for stories where people go out of their way to do the RIGHT thing. God knows I don't always achieve it myself - but doing the RIGHT thing, as opposed to the easy or popular thing, is something that's pretty important to me.
So, when I came across this story this morning on ESPN it kind of tugged at a couple heart strings (some of the best in pro and amateur sporting blogs can be found here, btw - Bill Simmons and Rick Reilly are two of the best in the business). It's a story about a junior varsity girls' softball game that took place earlier this spring in Indiana.
I won't ruin the story for you, but if you're a sports fan who's tired of defending why you love 'the game', or if you're someone who just doesn't 'get' why team sports are such a big part of our popular culture, read this article.
It's just a well written story, that may just make you feel a little better about the world you live in... In the words of the author: "it's not an important story, just one that squirts apple juice right in your face."
Enjoy: For Love Of The Game

Educating the heathens? Nice story.
Great story! It's so great to hear about people helping people without ego being involved.
