Smile Off Topic - Feel Good Story for a Change

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/ins...310/index.html

Just received this article from a co-worker. A good read. Wish more of our youth today were involved in activities like this.

Anyone else been involved in something like this?

We had a severely handicapped young girl who was abandoned by her mother early in life. Every baseball game her grandparents, her legal guardians, in their 60's, would bring her to the ballpark. For yrs she wore our uniform, was in our team pictures, came onto the field for the anthem, cheered with all she had - it was her happiest times and the kids loved her. A lot can be learned.....
