DEAD! Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 That was a great story. It was also a great softball/baseball rule book lesson. I had only one home run in my little league days, albeit an inside-the-park one. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Wow, that is fantastic. My hat's off to those women. I don't know that there are a lot of people who would have chosen not to take advantage of the situation. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

CC97 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Did they show the complete footage of the home run and the whole run around the bases thing at all during that clip?I skimmed through it only to find 2 or 3 second clips of it inter-spliced in between 6 minutes of interviews with the umpires amongst others. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSky Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Great story even given the irony that it never would have happened had the ump known the rules. But it sure renewed my faith in people, especially the younger generation, who often appear to be too busy texting their friends about American Idol contestants to be bothered with anything meaningful. The parents and coaches of those young ladies should be very proud. Those young women know a lot about what's really important in life, things like integrity, compassion, and sportsmanship.I read the excellent book The Undefeated about Oklahoma's 47-game football winning streak and there was an instance where a player caught a pass that was ruled a TD but confessed to the ref that he had actually come down out of bounds. Some people never understand why someone would do that, but a true champion knows glory means nothing if not earned honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleujayone Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 a true champion knows glory means nothing if not earned honestly. In other news... MLB Players Association opens an investigation as to why no teams have signed Barry Bonds* this season. Apparently being a water-headed steroid-addict with an artificial knee puts him in a protected class.What do you MEAN no team wants a 43-year old clubhouse cancer with one knee and a federal indictment??In case any of you still had any respect for the players' union...Union raises concerns over BondsWhat a shame that a bunch of college players have shown more class and sportsmanship in just one act than all off MLB has shown in years. We all have our little faults. Mine's in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parents and coaches of those young ladies should be very proud. Those young women know a lot about what's really important in life, things like integrity, compassion, and sportsmanship.I know what you mean. As a 22 year old college Senior myself, even I get that feeling...but I admit to being a throwback...I still use landlines, I suck at texting, and I do things like arrive when I say I'll be somewhere rather than call 5 minutes before I'm supposed to be and say "oh I haven't left yet wait up or I'm not coming now". I don't like being tethered to cell phones because if I'm going out, I'm going out to get AWAY from people, not to be constantly tethered with them. Now that being said, yes, lots of young people like myself are "txt-krzy-LOL!?!?!" but I mean it's not like they don't care about anyone else or anything. I think that's an unfair generalization. I know it may appear that way on TV and whatnot, but it's really not the case. I'd even concede that past-generations probably did have more of a "group before the self" mindset than we do today, but it's probably not the best assessment--and I'm aware you meant its there ARE a lot of good young kids out there and whatnot, but I'm just saying......and I do know that every year here @ PSU we have something called "Thon" which raises money for pediatric cancer. This year they raised over $6.6 million--all the efforts of college students. The first one in 1973 raised just over $2,000 to compare...and 1992 was the first $1,000,000 mark. Hell, 2007's then-record was just about $4.5 million...I know I've been kinda OT-here, but I just wanted to throw in a shameless plug... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
