Truth vs. Fiction

Sometimes the truth of a matter seems to be fiction. An unbelievable instance is sometimes hard to grasp by people. In sports, there are usually players that are expected to do better than other players. In a little league baseball game, there was a physically handicapped boy who had to have a walker to walk properly. The game was tied with one more inning to go. The handicapped boy struggled to home plate to take his turn batting. After using the tee, the boy hit the ball to the pitcher. The boy started off to first base, as the crowd on both sides cheered him the entire way. The pitcher overthrew the ball past first base so the batter could continue to second. The fielders continued to over-throw the ball, which eventually welcomed the handicapped boy at home plate, scoring the winning point. The crowd's eyes were filled with tears because of the boy's happiness. It is unbelievable that a group of young boys, such as the fielders, would give up winning a game in order to make someone less fortunate happy.
