For a long time I’ve clung to the belief that the best writing in journalism is found on the sports pages. This story from ESPN does nothing to convince me otherwise.

This might just be my favorite story ever. Definitely shows the best things about sports and humanity… just basic kindness. Very nice to see. :-)

Trying not to burst into tears at my desk.
Best story I’ve read in a long time.

If you liked that, you should read the story about the Basketball player from Tennessee who was diagnosed with cancer. Extremely moving and shows you the lengths some people will go to in life.

I’ve read this story, or versions of it, about five times now. There’s an interview with the three principals on ESPN as well…and every time it has made me cry.
It gives you hope, you know?
