I first saw this story on Facebook, shared by a friend who encouraged watching the video with “I would like for every softball / baseball player and coaches to watch this.” 

Since it is ball season, and goodness knows, we could all use some inspiration these days, I followed the link, Injury Turns into Inspiration for Softball Players.  When I saw it was on Godvine.com, I was pretty sure I wanted to watch that video, but when the description mentioned a torn ACL, I almost didn’t watch.  (Once you’ve experienced it, even the mention of a knee injury can trigger nauseating sympathy pain.  I was horrified that the video might actually show the injury.)  

Thankfully, the camera did NOT capture the actual injury, but it did capture one of the most impressive moments in sports history. 

I also found a follow-up story interviewing the girls (homerun hitter and compassionate players from the other team).
