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..

DITTO!

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.

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.

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!

bravo... there is still hope for humanity

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.

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!!

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

God Bless Each of these young ladies.

My faith in humanity has been restored. You ladies are AWESOME!!!!

who in their right mind can dislike this? Inspiring and touching..... just amazing.

holy cow this made me cry

Beautiful stuff. Bravo. Well done!

Amazing young ladies ! Well Done !

Amazing story and something very student athlete should watch!

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.

this is a great example for others to follow...thank you

this brought tears to my eyes

who dare dislike this?! Seriously this what im now gunna think about when i play softball! Everytime!

I seriously almost started doing a slow clap. Excellent stuff.

I was at this game. It was an incredibly moving moment.

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.

Wow...such a cool moment. Lovely.

Am I the only one who had tears running down my face??? This is what sports are supposed to b like

This story represents true sportsmanship.

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. :)

this is such a great thing these two girls did. after what they did here the rest of that game became an afterthought

Awesome story they would have lost anyway 3-2 but their character and integrity made them winners

They were up 2-0, the other team had 2 on the homerun made it 3 runs how would they lose?

THe parents brought these girls up right. This is softball at its best.

I am not crying, I have something in my eye.

Pure class

i like this vid but where is the hr

no sound?? if their is needs turned up ive tried 3 browsers still same no sound my volume is at 100%

amen to that, brother

Respect...

Awww tears..

that woman totally looks like Gary Busey

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..

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

Tom Rinaldi does this very very well!

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.'

TOUCHING THEM ALL. YES PLEASE.

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.)

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)

damn ninjas, chopping onions again

Both teams won that day

Gary Busey's mom!! :)

Nope, I'm bawling.

is that gary busey's sister?

If that is not sportsmenship then I don't know what is.

I'd carry her around too - YEE HAW!!

Not about sports, but about being human.

MAY GOD BLESS ALL THESE WOMEN.

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.

she missed first base and turned around to touch it, but because of the turn she torn her acl

Sit in pearce young Sara.

how did she get a torn acl from walking the bases anyways.

@kingolofofaston torn acl let me see you do that hater

HOLY SHIT GARRY BUSEY IS COACHING SOFTBALL

shut the f*** up ok man

I don't thing you would have seen this from a male team.

too fucking dramatic tho... good story but... drama? seriously?

they all got espys you moron.

- Cynical much?

Fredact your an ass clown. Sportsmanship is gold. Need more of it and less of you. Fact....

Ok, it was a good story of sportsmanship. But I am all dude, so of course I say she could have just rubbed some dirt on it and hopped the bases. I used to hop all over when I tore my ACL. I tore mine in a rough touch football league and didn't know. Continued to play with a limp and went to work for rest of week. MRI confirmed I tore it and got the surgery months later ....

No, injuring yourself on a home run hit is called sucking at sports. And why do you assume I'm a fat ass? Is it because I'm watching a video of a girl who doesn't know how to run a base? Why don't you call yourself, as well as the millions of people on this planet who've watched this video, a fat ass. Sara Tucholsky simply deserved not to get credit for an ESPY, the girls who picked her up deserve to have all the credit. That's like saying the person who is helped up has good sportsmanship.

Assassin MMA you are not an athlete.

I actually have a reason to call you an ignorant punk. The proof is in your comment. But let's really get to my real point. Does Sara deserve an ESPY? And if you agree, then explain.

Summary: Girl hits the ball hard, but is not fast enough to get around the bases. Other team lets her score. This is no different than purposely dropping the ball to "let" her score. What a crock. If I was the teammates of those girls that helped her get around the bases, I be p$ssed.

+TheVictoryHawk I know how home runs work. You have to touch the bases. She couldn't so it shouldn't count. No different than if she ran around and forgot to touch second. Would the other team have let her go back and touch it then?

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.

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

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.

Years later it still makes me cry...

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.

That was beautiful. Such sportsmanship.

05:03 - "It's a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing, at the right time"

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.

Sportsmanship, at its best. Well done to you two Ladies , you both have Hearts of GOLD .

how can there be 2 dislikes? this is a piece of history, good sportsmanship!

What a great video...touching. I have gone through an ACL reconstruction...don't ever want to go through that again!

This is what true sportsmanship really is makes me proud of all the softball players I know it is just an amazing thing

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.

Its not the fact that she was clumsy guys, its the fact that the other team cared enough to help her so shut up

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♥

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.

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!

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.

thanks girls you did a lot
