Sarah Tucholsky, then a senior at Western Oregon University, had just hit her first collegiate home run when she blew out her knee rounding first. She would be unable to circle the bases, and rules stipulated that when she came out of the game for a pinch runner she would be credited with only a single. Then a curious thing happened, as Mallory Holtman, the first baseman for the opposing Central Washington Wildcats came to the aid of Tucholsky and helped carry her to home plate. Sports may never see a greater act of sportsmanship. (via Uplifting Moments in Sports - Photos - SI.com)

being a (ex?)fastpitch player makes me happy to know that i was involved in a sport with such caring people. They did it...
This is quality. This is sportsmanship. This is how people should be.
