In all the hub-bub about millions of dollars for stadiums and star players coupled with Bode Miller revealing all that is bad about U.S. amateur sports, the story about the Rochester highschool basketball team manager scoring 20 points in four minutes was refreshing. Most people point to the fact that the young man is autistic, and I don't take away from that however I have no experience with autism. To me the real story was a) the coach letting the tireless and loyal team manager get a chance to play and b) said manager actually experiencing being a hero.
