I'm all weepy here...

[Squatch]

I wish I could have been in Ellensburg to see this.

===========
Western Oregon senior Sara Tucholsky had never hit a home run in her career. Central Washington senior Mallory Holtman was already her school's career leader in them. But when a twist of fate and a torn knee ligament brought them face to face with each other and face to face with the end of their playing days, they combined on a home run trot that celebrated the collective human spirit far more than individual athletic achievement.

15. "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game." . . .

this was how I learned to play baseball and most other sports back when sportmanship trumped winning at all costs . . . good to see it isn't completely dead in 2008 . . .
