While going through Facebook just moments ago, I came across this post of a story which I had never heard before. Today has been a rough day for me, and yet this brought tears of both joy and happiness to me. ~ JB

August 8, 1982 ~ A line drive foul ball hits a four year old boy in the head at Fenway. Jim Rice, realizing in a flash that it would take E.M.T.s too long to arrive and cut through the crowd, sprang from the dugout and scooped up the boy. He laid the boy gently on the dugout floor, where the Red Sox medical team began to treat him. When the boy arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later, doctors said, without a doubt that Jim’s prompt actions saved the boy’s life. Jim returned to the game in a blood-stained uniform. A real badge of courage. After visiting the boy in the hospital, and realizing the family was of modest means, he stopped by the business office and instructed that the bill be sent to him.
