If you want to read a story about a nice baseball player.
"A Hollywood screen writer couldn't have scripted it better.

A struggling baseball player who has had a forgettable year, meets with a kid who has struggled all his life. While hanging out by the batting cage, the father who has witnessed his son fight for his life, not just a hit, asks the player if he can send one out for his biggest fan.

The player, who has just five home runs on the year, laughs and says "how about I just try and not lose the game for the team?" And then the ballplayer goes out and hits not one, not two, but three bombs against the team's biggest rival.

Fade to black...

Except the above story isn't a fairytale, it was Wednesday afternoon for Brewers third baseman Casey McGehee."

1. Being a big crybaby in the first place, this story definitely put a hitch in my breath.
Casey at the Bat with a HAPPY ENDING!
