I saw this story again, and it stirred me. This time, however, instead of being just another news piece, it was honored as the Best Sports Moment of the Year, a recognition of sportsmanship, at the 2008 ESPY awards. And it made me wonder, “What would I have done?”
On April 26, 2008, Sara Tucholsky, a softball player for Western Oregon University, hit the first home run of her career. As she rounded the bases, her knee blew out, rendering her unable to complete the triumphant jog under her own power. Her teammates couldn’t touch her or she’d be called out. And this was the championship game. And her run would put her team ahead.
What would you have done if you were on the opposing team?
