Common decency is becoming uncommon
I love this story, it touched a cord because it highlights the way common sense can prevail over bureaucracy and how decency and empathy can be flourish if we take the time to consider what is important to others and lift them up.
The only weakness of this story is that it showed how someone can have the courage to help others at personal cost (losing the game) but often our shared human interests mean that helping someone else helps us all.
I love this website. Thanks Liberty Mutual for being a good corporate citizen.

great movie
I have been waiting to see this for months – the pitcher in the movie is my niece! Anyway, I knew the idea of the story but it was so well done! I thought it was great and kudos for Liberty for putting it on their website.

The Home Run
The video was nice, but the Sport Illustrated piece gave it a truer understanding of the situation. I applaud Ron Shelton for directing this video, but the article was more insightful, dramatic and painted a more realistic picture of humanity in today’s cynical world.
You shoudl see the actual footage /images pf teh game. Very inspiring to the human spirit. We should all be a wonderful as those selfless girs were.

In a world that makes everything about “me”, this movie touched me. If only we would learn to serve one another, than even a baseball game would look much different.

Great Film!
I did magic for Ron Shelton at a charity golf tournament years ago. He was a great guy then and a great guy now. It takes a special quality in a person to recognize that a story such as this is worthy of being put on film. Good job Ron!

Wept at Watching
This type of “short” should be shown at every movie theater before or after the movie. It made me cry… Good on ‘em, forever.
