From Today's Washington Post, a great story on Ryan Zimmerman, one of VA's own and as many of us oldtimers here can attest, one heck of a young man!!

Thank you justmom,
That was the most inspirational piece of literture I have read in quite some time.
It makes me realize many things. Especially,
Ryan Zimmerman is worthy of his calling.
May God continue to bless and help this family with their great mother

Wow, that was a great story for a great player and family. 
I've heard Towney Townswnd say that "adversity doesn't build character it reveals it", never was this more true than with Ryan. He is an admirable young man with great character.
Wonderful story, and nice to have a "Justmom" sighting. milking the cows and slopping the hogs must be keeping her busy down there.
(P.S. to Justmom: If the chores are done, CNU opens at home on 2/11!!)

It is a great story. Ryan is easily the most humble guy I have ever met. I gave his brother the link to it and he was really pleased at how well it was written. It was the best news article I have read in quite some time.
I figure one day the infield i saw at the commonwealth Games (east) in 2001 of
Zimmerman at 3rd,
BJ upton at short
and Scott Sizemore at 2nd
might be worth a Hmmmm! Wow!

But, Zimm was sweeet!
