Sara Tucholsky Home Run/ESPY Sportsmanship Moment 

Now this is a great story. Sportsmanship at its finest. Well done all involved.

10 years later and I still cry watching this.

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!

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.

bravo... there is still hope for humanity

God Bless Each of these young ladies.

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.

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

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

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

holy cow this made me cry

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!!

this brought tears to my eyes

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

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

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.

Amazing young ladies ! Well Done !

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

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.

This story represents true sportsmanship.

Beautiful stuff. Bravo. Well done!

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

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

Wow...such a cool moment. Lovely.

Pure class

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

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

amen to that, brother

Respect...

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%

Awww tears..

Tom Rinaldi does this very very well!

that woman totally looks like Gary Busey

TOUCHING THEM ALL. YES PLEASE.

Gary Busey's mom!! :)

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.

She didn't ever thank herself. She thanked the other girl and her teammates. She was happy she hit a homerun...

damn ninjas, chopping onions again

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..

Nope, I'm bawling.

Both teams won that day

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.'

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)

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

is that gary busey's sister?

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

MAY GOD BLESS ALL THESE WOMEN.

Not about sports, but about being human.

Sit in pearce young Sara.

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

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

@kingolofofaston torn acl let me see you do that hater

omg I play softball now im scared !!!!!!!!!!!

what about them?

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

HOLY SHIT GARRY BUSEY IS COACHING SOFTBALL

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

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.

shut the f*** up ok man

- Cynical much?

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

they all got espys you moron.

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.

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 ....

The women coach looks like a train wreck.

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.

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 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.

Years later it still makes me cry...

That was beautiful. Such sportsmanship.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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

How could anyone Dislike this?

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

Well done ladies that is true sportsmanship

This is what Sports should be! And the young lady heros who became Women at thst moment!

Thanks, Mallory and Liz for reminding us what life is really all about.

its too early for onions

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.

This is a well deserved "Like" things like this makes the difference !

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.

AWESOME!!!!

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!

Sara, you should be proud of yourself! As should Liz and Mallory.

this is what you call sportsmanship
