Doing the right thing, is sometimes the hardest thing. Average people, from all walks of life, choose the hard route everyday...and smile, and persevere.
It's stories like this that make me want to continue to improve myself as a human being.
The shooting happened on my night off or I would have been up there on the call. The officers that were there later remarked how extrordinary Steve was. Even on the way to the hospital, he was asking about the safety of the two women.
A truly inspirational story with a touch of sadness for what might have been.
For all the talk of how long the odds are to be a major league player, it is even more difficult to become a major league umpire. People like Steve have my utmost respect and gratitude. A true American hero indeed.
