Three of Sports Most Touching Moments

You want a challenge? 

Watch these three videos without quiver, sob, whimper or even a tear.
If you have ever searched for the meaning of teamwork, dedication, perseverance and compassion, look to sports and these three outstanding clips.

The videos represent what is truly great about sports.  While football is the ultimate team sport and full of such stories, these three clips rise to the top as sports stories that can soften even the toughest middle linebacker.

1. The Team with Incredible Compassion
When Sara Tucholsky of Western Oregon hit her first career home run (a three run shot) against Central Washington, she rounded first base, and then blew out her knee.  See how coaches, managers and opponents responded.
