Sports Bright: Team USA’s Hero
Wednesday, March 18, 2009 15:56Posted in category MLB, Sports Bright
In my ongoing quest to find worthy and inspirational stories in the sporting world amongst all the contract squabbles, drug scandals and criminal corruption, here’s an article I found on Yahoo! Sports in the aftermath of Team USA’s thrilling ninth-inning come from behind victory last night in the World Baseball Classic. Which, if you missed, is too bad for you on the purely sports front; I’ve already extolled the virtues of the WBC.
This story brought a tear to my eye as it extends to a world far more important than my love of athletics: the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and the veterans of said.

You're right. In a world of cheaters and system abusers, it's nice to sometimes get a feel good story like this. It brought a man tear to my eye.
