The Speech at Reynolds Coliseum was more heartfelt.

Here's an excerpt

quote:

Today I fight a different battle. You see I have trouble walking, and I do. And I have trouble standing for long periods of time, and I do. Cancer has taken away a lot of my physical abilities. I can’t run over and yell at John Monroe, the referee, like I want to right now….(applause). I can’t do the back flip I like to do with our world class cheerleaders, I can’t do those things…(applause). What cancer can not touch, is my mind, my heart, and my soul. It can’t touch those 3 things….


The halftime ceremony speech at end

Cried when Paul Maineri hugged his dad on the field after our boys won it all in 2009.

Sr year in HS. We were playing the #1 team in the state. I pitched 8 scoreless innings in the 9th leadoff single followed by a sac bunt. Next hitter hits a routine ground ball to SS and it goes between his legs runner scores from 2nd. I throw my glove at the guy and just lay on the mound face down.

It was the end of the world to me at the time.

We went on to beat them at home then lose to them in the playoffs.

When I was a kid I cried after a few Bama losses.The only one I remember as an adult was when Len Bias died shortly after the Celtics had drafted him.He was great.He wasn't very far below Jordan in his skill set.Such a waste.
