Baseball and Inspiration
The Boston Red Sox have never been my home team, but stories as inspiring as Jon Lester's go far beyond geographical borders.
Congratulations to Jon Lester, world class competitor in pitching baseballs and fighting cancer. Accomplishments like his are the stuff of legend. Lester's no-hitter reminds each of us of the uplifting rewards delivered by hard work towards a personal goal, against any naysayers and all odds.
It's a heartwarming baseball milestone that every American sports lover (even Yankee fans) should take the opportunity to enjoy celebrating.
