Sweet story! I didn't know you could play the manager in a game - looks like they should have had him in there long ago!

This story literally brought happy tears to my eyes. I was not only touched by how well that little guy did, but especially by reaction of all of his teammates and peers. It was awesome!

Thank you. I had not seen that and would not have heard about it.
It brought tears to my eyes (good tears).
What a wonderful coach (and what a great teacher).
I loved Jason's comment when the reporter said "You caught fire." He said "I caught fire. I was hot as a pistol" and he was.

thanks for the link! it is such an inspiring story that brought tears to my eyes too. i love stories like these that show everyone that our kids are capable of so much if just given the chance . but in the back of my mind i am wondering why he was never given a chance to play before?
