on a totally different note, how about that softball team in washington? i just watched a news clip that told about these two college softball teams playing a game to determine who would be in the division 1 playoff. a girl hits a home-run, and as she was taking off on her journey home, she somehow skipped first base, so she turned around to go back and touch it-and when she did, at some point, she turned oddly and tore her knee...becoming unable to get up and finish running around the bases to complete her first ever home-run. the umpires said that the point wouldn't count unless she touched all of the bases, and that if her teammates touched her (to help her), then they would automatically not get the point either. so, you know what happened? two girls on the opposing team picked her up and carried her around the bases-allowing her first ever home-run to count, and at the same time, sealing the hurt girl's team's victory-it sounds like. that's right, the helpful team ended up losing the game, thus losing their chance to go to the playoffs. that is pretty amazing, if you ask me...
