Can We Talk About Good Things in Sports.... Just for a Second? Full Body Day!

Everyday I hear something about deflated footballs, players that have committed domestic violence, players doing performance enhancing drugs and getting caught lying about it, FIFA corruption, Lance doping.... the list goes on and on.

Something happened yesterday that was so small and simple that I am not sure it will really make any news... certainly not after today. Yesterday a couple of kids and their dad had been sitting in the outfield stands all game cheering for their favorite player. Every time Andrew McCutcheon made a play these kids would scream and cheer and at the end of the game McCutcheon gave these devoted fans his batting gloves. They could not have been happier. I will be interested to see if this heart warming bit of news is in the headlines tomorrow. Thanks, at least for today Andrew.

Today's quote is from Bradley Whitford:

"Cal Ripken is steady, he focuses on his job, and he's a good guy."
