- demigod, on 04/30/2008, -12/+576my view of humanity just went up a little. Amazing. This is the way sports should be.
- allaboutdatiki, on 04/30/2008, -12/+457That was just freakin' awesome. Bless those girls, they have it right.
- BinaryDelt, on 04/30/2008, -9/+422I read this the other day and realized that good sportsmanship means you can still have rivalries and competition, but when it comes down to situations that require you to be human, you answer the call.
- Bridea, on 04/30/2008, -16/+389Sorry, I have something in my eye...
- rawg, on 04/30/2008, -1/+171FTA: "For her part, Holtman seems not altogether sure what all the fuss is about. She seems to genuinely believe that any player in her position on any field on any day would have done the same thing. Which helps explains why it did happen on that day and on that field."
Someone raised that girl right. She's going on to be a coach after she graduates, which is great. The more people she influences the better. - Scottie83, on 04/30/2008, -16/+163Hey I'm starting to get the hang of this game! The blerns are loaded, the count's three blerns and two anti-blerns and the infield blern rule is in effect, right?
- hogfoot, on 04/30/2008, -5/+139This should be required reading for all young athletes.
- mrfunktastic, on 04/30/2008, -4/+119I'm not crying...
It's just been raining
on my face - MatthewDuke, on 04/30/2008, -22/+132I was running in a 2 mile fun run on 4th of July a few years ago. Right as I was coming up this hill to the finish gate an older lady in front of me tripped and fell down on her stomach and face, but I just kept running right past her. Not my problem.
- shadeOfGrey, on 04/30/2008, -2/+93Except for the word Blern, that was complete gibberish.
- davewashere, on 04/30/2008, -0/+76We'd watch him crawl around the bases for 5 minutes. It would be no different than when Cecil Fielder used to hit home runs.
- Asrrin29, on 04/30/2008, -3/+73I wish there could be more inspiring tales like this in other aspects of human life. More people should show scruples like this.
- hipnerd, on 04/30/2008, -0/+56It instantly reminded me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-MRoIDXeuY
(not a Rick-roll) - Bart314, on 04/30/2008, -2/+54Wow, that's as fine of an example of sportsmanship as I can remember.
The New York Times' version of this story is better and shorter:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/30/sports/baseball/ ... - NSResponder, on 04/30/2008, -7/+59Those girls have done a very fine thing, and I would also give a high-five to their coach and their parents for teaching them real sportsmanship.
-jcr - sindex, on 04/30/2008, -1/+46I honestly read this article so I could make some snarky comment about how she'll never learn that the world won't help you out when you fall, and she should just get used to that... but frankly the wind's been taken out of my sails. This is a fantastic show of sportsmanship, empathy, and understanding. All athletes would do well to read this story & live by it.
- bgrah449, on 04/30/2008, -2/+46For your information there's an inflammation in my tear gland.
- seraph582, on 04/30/2008, -0/+43Agreed - for the first time in a looong time, Digg has helped me start my morning w/ a lil' bit 'o inspiration.
- noahhoward, on 04/30/2008, -5/+46She'd have caught spikes to the back of the head until she stopped twitching.
- hoopy22, on 04/30/2008, -2/+42Geez, I'm a big ol' burly dude, and this made tears run down my cheeks. Well done young lady, and well written Mr. Hays.
- roomforpanic, on 04/30/2008, -5/+43Your name is appropriate.
- dema, on 04/30/2008, -2/+36ROFLMAO. This comment is so well placed.
- innerpenguin, on 04/30/2008, -1/+33I actually got a bit chocked up. This is the first story I read today and it is wonderful and so different from the norm.
- barf314, on 04/30/2008, -0/+31Woah. For a second there I thought I had sleep-commented or something.
- bravo369, on 04/30/2008, -12/+43I wonder what would have happened in mlb if this was game 7 of the world series.
- ChzPlz, on 04/30/2008, -1/+32The rules of baseball do not agree with you.

- FoghornLeghorn, on 04/30/2008, -0/+23If I am crying, it's not cause of you, it's because I'm thinking of a friend of mine who you don't know, who's dying, that's right dying.
- sleepless, on 04/30/2008, -0/+22Seattle Times has a good version and pictures of the ladies in action.

- uptown, on 04/30/2008, -1/+19Yeah, and they could've retrieved a snowcone from the concession stand and held it up to her leg too ... but they didn't.
- sindex, on 04/30/2008, -0/+18So it's kind of like regular baseball, then?
- bigpeeler, on 04/30/2008, -0/+16Yeah, and I used to have a full head of hair. Things change, bro.

- bovilexia, on 04/30/2008, -0/+15ACL tears usually occur when a person pivots too quickly. which is what happened in this case, when she pivoted to go back and touch first.

- murraj2, on 04/30/2008, -3/+16In major league baseball, you can have a pitch runner mid play if a Home Run is hit.
- CZzyzx41, on 04/30/2008, -0/+13A. It is
