Dear Friends,
I always love stories of good sportsmanship. I never had the opportunity to play sports in high school, but was always a fan and admire what playing a sport teaches us. I still learn something every race I run. My son Stevie returns home today from a week in Milwaukee visiting his sister Erin. He attended a Brewers game and a Chicago Cubs game. The Cubs were playing the Braves, just like in the movie Ferris Bueller. As far as I know he wasn’t able to “borrow” a Ferrari. Stevie was able to visit the great museums in Chicago. He even went with his sister for her final dress fitting. Now that’s being a good sport! 🙂
Recently on the Today Show was a touching story of a Minnesota high school wrestler who came up short of his dream of a state title, but showed a touching display of sportsmanship afterward that ensured his season would end with a standing ovation.
