I don't know why I thought to post this here, but with some of the threads I have been reading today, I thought we might like a thread about the human spirit and an unbelievable accomplishment.

Thanks, we needed something to pick up our spirits!

I tried to find another story that I saw a week or two ago where a girl's softball team carried the other teams batter on their shoulders across home plate after she hit a home run and sprained her ankle rounding first base.

 

^ I caught a little of that story on Fox News in the morning while I was at the gym, but since the tv's have no volume, I couldn't figure out what actually happened. I couldn't find it on the net when I got to work.

 

Incredible accomplishment!

 

I think you are talking about this story. This is truly an uplifting story about kindred human spirit at its best. I think these ladies will never forget that afternoon for the rest of their lives where everyone cried.

^Yup, that's it. Thanks for the link, I never had the chance to read it before.

 

That's it! I agree, the girls will never forget that day.

 

I saw this too, sportsmanship at its best. I still have faith in the youth
of this country.......did i just say that.....damn i sound like my father.

 

I was impressed when I saw that story too.

 

Here is an incredible story of a father and son, Team Hoyt. This is not a new story but whenever things get hard, I think of this and what an inspiration this is to me. You can Google and find a lot more but this story is worth reading.
