A Real Winner

A couple of weeks ago my sister-in-law forwarded me the article below about Phillies' pitcher Jamie Moyer and his family. Over Christmas, the World Series ace, his wife and seven children traveled to Guatemala, the place where they adopted his youngest daughter, Yennifer, from.

Moyer's down-to-earth personality has already made the hometown boy a fan favorite. But his dedication and desire to give back display qualities that reach out to people beyond the baseball world.

It's a shame we don't see more stories like Moyer's in the sports pages.
