Shay At a charity dinner for a school that care children with learning problems, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by anyone present. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he asked a question: 'When it is reached by outside interference, nature does its job with perfection. Unfortunately, my son Shay can not learn things the way they do other children. It can not deeply understand things as other people. Where is the natural order of things when it comes to my son? ' The audience fell silent to the question. The father continued: 'I think that when it comes to a child like Shay, physically and mentally handicapped, is a great opportunity to realize human nature and is incubated as other people treat that child. ' At that point he began to tell a story: Shay and his father walked past a park where Shay knew that there were children playing baseball. Shay asked, 'Do you think those guys will play?' Shay's father knew that most of them did not want the team a player like Shay, but he also knew that if he had been allowed to play, this would give his son hope to be accepted by others at the expense of his disability, something that Shay had immense needs. Shay's father is one of the guys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if its figliopotesse play. The boy looked around in search of consensus and said, 'We're losing by six points and the game is in the eighth inning. I think it might join the team: we will enter the ninth 'Shay joined the team bench and with a huge smile, put on the jersey of the team. The father looked at the scene with tears in his eyes and with a sense of warmth in the chest. The boys saw the father's joy to the idea that his son was accepted by the other. At the end of the eighth inning, Shay's team took some points but was still behind by three points. At the beginning of the ninth inning, Shay put on his glove and went into the field. Even if no one got shot in his direction, he erain ecstatic just the idea of \u200b\u200bplaying in a baseball field and a huge smile that went from ear to ear, waving his father in the stands. At the end of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored a new point: now, with two outs and the bases loaded you could even think of winning and Shay was appointed to be the next at bat. At this point, do they let Shay bat even if it meant losing the game? Incredibly, they let him beat. Everyone knew that was impossible for that Shay did not even hold the bat, let alone hit a ball. In any case, as Shay put on the plate, the pitcher, realizing that the team was giving up allavittoria in exchange for that magical moment for Shay, walked a few steps and pulled the ball so softly and looking Shay because he could take it with the bat. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily to target misses. Again, the shooter walked a few steps to gently pull the ball to Shay. As the fire reached him this time Shay swung and hit the ball slowly back toward the shooter. But the game was not finished yet. At that point, the striker went to collect the ball, he could give it to 'man on first base and Shay was eliminated and the game would end. Instead ... The shooter threw the ball much further than the man at first base in a way that no other team could pick it up. Everyone from the stands and all the members of both teams started yelling, 'Shay Run to first! Run to first! ' Shay never in his life had run so far, but he did so and reached first base. He reached first base with wide-eyed with emotion. At that point, everyone yelled, 'Run to second base!' Shay ran to catch his breath until the second out of breath. By the time Shay reached second base on the opposing team had now recovered the ball .. The youngest boy of age who had taken the ball and then he knew he could win and become the hero of the game, avrebbepotuto throwing the ball at second base, but the man did as the shooter before he intentionally threw it far beyond the ' man on third base and in a way that no other team could pick it up. Everyone was shouting: 'Bravo Shay, so go! Now run! ' Shay reached third base because the opposing team a guy reached out and helped him by turning in the right direction. By the time Shay reached third base all shouted with joy. Then all shouted, 'Run to first, back to base !!!!' And he did: alone again at first base, where all lifted him into the air and made the hero of the game. 'That day' said the father crying 'the boys from both teams helped bring into this world a great gift of true love and humanity'. Shay did not live until the following summer. E 'dead after the winter but it has never forgotten be the hero of the game and making his father proud and happy .. never forgot the embrace of his mother when she came home and told her he had played and won.
