Sara Tucholsky Home Run/ESPY Sportsmanship Moment
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- When Western Oregons Sara Tucholsky hit a three-run shot over the fence against Central Washington on April 26, 2008, her round-tripper gave the Wolves a lead and it also went into the books as the first career home run for the senior outfielder.
But after injuring her knee rounding first, she needed help to make the complete circuit around the bases. In stepped CWUs Mallory Holtman and Liz Wallace, who carried the hobbled Tucholsky around the diamond in an amazing gesture of sportsmanship.
10 years later and I still cry watching this.
Five years after your comment - fifteen years since the event - I’m emotional, too. What a glorious outcome to a exceptional-cum-tragic event.
I’ve watched this video many times to buoy my flagging spirit in humankind. It never fails me.
Now this is a great story. Sportsmanship at its finest. Well done all involved.
I've seen this clip many times over the years and I'll tell you... as a grown man who's pretty cynical... this story never fails to bring a tear to my eye.
Can't even begin to put into words how enormously impressed I am by the two young women on the opposing team.
I honestly think this is one of the great sports stories of all time. Give me this over bloated steroid junkie overpaid major leaguers any day of the week..
I agree with you 100%. I have seen it a few times and have played high level baseball.......... and this still brings a tear to my eye as well.
DITTO!
this is how you make America great again you step up for other even when you know it might cost you the battle hats off the the two lady's who did that for her
I don't play baseball, I don't follow baseball, but you ladies brought me to tears with this amazing act of kindness. The world is a better place because you are in it. Deepest respects.
This isn't baseball it's softball
All three of these beautiful young ladies in my opinion deserve an award for sportsmenship. I wish nothing but the very best for all three of these young ladies for the rest of their lives.
who in their right mind can dislike this? Inspiring and touching..... just amazing.
I don't care how many times I've seen it, it still brings me to tears each time. I shared this video with everybody I know, and on Social Media. You should too. Those two young ladies who went beyond the team grudge and beyond what everyone would think, even though that by doing that, they LOST the game, just shows the integrity and humanity that everyone in this world should have.
This message portrays that no matter what the consequence is, doing the right thing will always prevail. Good sportsmanship is the best thing that sports can ever teach us.
Share this with everyone and anyone you can! Make a difference. Humanity still has hope.
My daughter's team played a team last weekend where the coach should be made to watch this video 8000 times a day. THIS is what softball should be like, and the fact the opposing coach was emotional and proud of his girls for carrying the player, is just spectacular.
4:44.......what people in the stands....and ALL of us watching this video saw.....was the most beautiful example of good sportsmanship that anyone could imagine. GOOD FOR YOU!
These three girls will forever be connected due to this generous act of human kindness. This goes way beyond just good sportsmanship. There are no words to describe it.
05:03 - "It's a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing, at the right time"
Years later it still makes me cry...
This is the greatest story of honor and respect.
bravo...
there is still hope for humanity
Sportsmanship, at its best. Well done to you two Ladies , you both have Hearts of GOLD .
God Bless Each of these young ladies.
I think that is such a great thing to do for someone. I wish more people that played sports were like there young ladies. I wish them all nothing but the very best for the rest of their lives.
That was beautiful. Such sportsmanship.
i am so so so sad and happy way i am sad is the girl cant play and way happy is the girls helped the girl♥
Sportsmanship at it's best! Way to go girls. This story needs to be made into a movie. And all kids in sports should watch this video and take something from it. The final score isn't always the whole story. Winning in life is done so by being noble and kind, not by a score. Again, well done girls. Makes me proud to be a father and coach of a softball team.
My faith in humanity has been restored. You ladies are AWESOME!!!!
This is what true sportsmanship really is makes me proud of all the softball players I know it is just an amazing thing
14 years later and not even a million views 😢. The wine carrying their injured competitor for her to score is the epitome of sportsmanship! I hope they are living successful full lives that they so richly deserve.
Ok, I gotta admit this got me moist. I love the fact that this still exists. Nice change from the normal drama and negativity in sports. They always try and enhance how corrupt sports have become. This was original and genuine.
Amazing story and something very student athlete should watch!
The only reason cuz I'm going to CWU this fall and I read about this in wiki:D and honestly I never cry or get emotional over movies or anything like that BUT this almost made me tear up. I felt the deep emotion of joy and enlightenment. Mad respect for the 2 girls. Go CWU!!
Thank you! Goarmysinknavy is a west point motto. No I am not a west pointer however I am a diehard west point fan. I have had alot of family members in the Navy. I have the upmost respect for the Navy.
this brought tears to my eyes
holy cow this made me cry
What a great video...touching. I have gone through an ACL reconstruction...don't ever want to go through that again!
who dare dislike this?! Seriously this what im now gunna think about when i play softball! Everytime!
Amazing young ladies ! Well Done !
Thanks, Mallory and Liz for reminding us what life is really all about.
this is a great example for others to follow...thank you
how can there be 2 dislikes? this is a piece of history, good sportsmanship!
This is what Sports should be! And the young lady heros who became Women at thst moment!
Well done ladies that is true sportsmanship
I seriously almost started doing a slow clap. Excellent stuff.
These girls will be successful in whatever they do in life because of who they are inside.
Its not the fact that she was clumsy guys, its the fact that the other team cared enough to help her so shut up
Exactly!
I would like to see anyone who says she was clumsy do better.
Why should I? Is that how people end debates, just to shut up and give up? No. You prove points through explanations. Even after a month, I still believe that Sara does not deserve an ESPY.
I get it now! I watched the whole video again and now I understand the haters. These girls have character, intelligence (they are all three honor athletes) and compassion for others, and people who have none of these traits hate people who do.
this just makes me cry because i play club softball at a high level and to see girls put aside there egos and help another player from the other team. :)
I was at this game. It was an incredibly moving moment.
This is a well deserved "Like" things like this makes the difference !
This story represents true sportsmanship.
Hooah is all I can say. Asa future Army Sniper this is what being a team is all about yes they are on two different teams athletically but we are all on the same team overall. That same team is "Human". Never Quit!
Awesome story
they would have lost anyway 3-2
but their character and integrity made them winners
Matthew Eubanks I would have done with that same exact thing because I would have been better if that team one just because of that injury and I would have picked her up and walk around the diamond while she touches each base
They were up 2-0, the other team had 2 on the homerun made it 3 runs how would they lose?
Love people like that because they did not have to do that those kind of people get some were in life and do the right thing good job
Question: What will everyone think? Answer: The young women who carried Sara deserve praise for humanity, for character, for caring. If any man is lucky enough to fall in love with these ladies, that man will have found a true gem of a partner.
this is such a great thing these two girls did. after what they did here the rest of that game became an afterthought
How could anyone Dislike this?
Beautiful stuff. Bravo. Well done!
I am not crying, I have something in my eye.
Sara, you should be proud of yourself! As should Liz and Mallory.
Wow...such a cool moment. Lovely.
Pure class
its too early for onions
bstlybengali And yet, here they are, by the bushel.
I am just amazed looking at the comments and how many people hate this video and despise these girls for what they did. We share this world with some sick people.
Absolutely. Some things are more important than winning. Unfortunately, too many Americans just outright disagree with that statement and I feel sorry for them
AWESOME!!!!
THe parents brought these girls up right. This is softball at its best.
It is not whether you win or lose it is how you play the game. These noble ladies will enjoy recalling this moment, hopefully without recalling the exploits of Marvelous Marv Throneberry.
Respect...
amen to that, brother
Am I the only one who had tears running down my face??? This is what sports are supposed to b like
this is what you call sportsmanship
Good people doing good things👍
no sound?? if their is needs turned up ive tried 3 browsers still same no sound my volume is at 100%
tom renaldi is such a good writer
Awww tears..
Danika Patrick has been creating accounts to dislike this video because she lost the espy to these girls even though she won her first Indy car race..
thanks girls you did a lot
10 without hearts and/or souls voted down this story
While yes this is a charming story, I can't help but point out that according the the NCAA Softball Rules in 2008 the substituted player should have been allowed to touch the awarded bases
(Rule 8.5.3.2 If an injury to a batter-runner or runner prevents her from proceeding to an awarded base, the ball is dead and substitution may
be made. The substitute must legally touch all awarded or missed
bases not previously touched.)
i like this vid but where is the hr
MAY GOD BLESS ALL THESE WOMEN.
@hazza1687 Round of applause for this comment!
this is what sports should be about…...
Tom Rinaldi does this very very well!
TOUCHING THEM ALL.
YES PLEASE.
Faith in human history is restored.
I think both teams, all players won
She didn't ever thank herself. She thanked the other girl and her teammates. She was happy she hit a homerun...
One of the greatest human qualities is having the ability to feel for someone else. It's called compassion. It comes naturally for most but obviously not all. I hope you can learn it some day. By the way, if you ever get cancer, you might consider going on an alkaline diet and 'the beck protocol.'
24 people would rather see unsportsmanlike conduct in sports.
So wait they won 4-2 and that was the winning run? But if it was a 2 run single wouldn't they still win 3-2?
it was 2-0 at the time I believe..would've tied the game
is that gary busey's sister?
Gary Busey's mom!! :)
It was her first and last home run. She missed the rest of the season. It was not about the game it was about the couch and her teammates not wanting to see what she earned taken away. The other two girls saw that and said that she earned the home run and should not have it taken away. You reall miss the point of it all.
that woman totally looks like Gary Busey
damn ninjas, chopping onions again
them feels : ' (
Both teams won that day
Nope, I'm bawling.
Dear mrs. brennan,
if you show this to your students next year, watch dantdm play minecraft after or else your dog brook will start talking.
Sincerely Lauren,
(my english teacher showed us this in class and i wanted to play some minecraft)
If that is not sportsmenship then I don't know what is.
Not about sports, but about being human.
I'd carry her around too - YEE HAW!!
Actually I am an athlete, however at least you broke your ankle during a play. Sara tore her ACL on a HOME RUN hit. She could crawl the bases if she wanted to. I'm not hating because I'm supposedly "missing out" or because she got injured, I hate because Sara got an ESPY and is receiving most of the credit for sportsmanship when she didn't do shit. The other girls did that. I respect all Sports Athletes unless they begin to take credit for shit they don't do. And know me before you insult me.
Assassin MMA you are nothing. You missed the point here. But thank goodness those other young Ladies didn’t. Go learn from them.
