Crasnick: Revealing some inspirational moments

In this week’s edition of Starting 9, we reflect upon nine moments from the 2010 Major League Baseball season that left a nice, warm feeling and memories that will outlast the box score. Some of the events below barely generated a headline, but that didn’t make them any less poignant or inspirational.

Insert jerkass cynical quip here. Then scold self.

I'm not going to go against my norm and read the article so I'm trying to come up with an example of my own...oh yeah, Galarraga and Jim Joyce. That was nice.

Seconded.

Dallas Braden's perfect game celebration

I'm sure I'm going to get savaged for this, but his grandmother's immediate random insult to A-Rod in the aftermath made the whole thing somewhat less than heartwarming for me.

The McDonald thing was pretty awesome, and my other favorites are Lindsey and the guy riding the train for his son, because I love trains. Joyce and Galarraga was quite amazing as well.

absolutely a fine article. It's a reminder to all about how much more than just the scores mean to some people.
