Sporstmanship at its best

Post by DeeEss57 »

In case you haven't heard...

Two players from Central Washington's softball team carried an opposing player around the bases after she hurt her knee rounding first base on an over the fence home run. That home run cost them a chance at the playoffs.

See the story here:

That is true class on their part. Goes to show that some teams still have
sportsmanship.

It is classy, but I could never see Prince Fielder carrying A-Rod over the plate in a playoff game. lol. That would never happen in the big leagues.

Wow. I had to adjust my monitor when I clicked on the link. It actually showed people being altruistic to one another, rather than the usual combo of obnoxious and selfish. I figured that something must be wrong with the video feed.
