This article from the April 30 New York Times A Sporting Gesture Touches 'Em All touched me when I read it. A Western Oregon softball player Sara Tucholsky had never hit a home run before her team's game against Central Washington. However, she was unable to round the bases on her own because her knee buckled after she passed first base, so in a magnificent sporting gesture two opposing players carried her around the bases and gently lowered her so she could touch each base.
Had Sara not been carried around the bases, her team would have scored only two runs instead of three and she would have been credited only with a single.
What an example in this age of win at any cost!
