Cool story. That's a tough road. At the bottom of that article is an announcement of Dick Groat's death from a stroke at 92. I was never a Pirates fan, but they did have spring training where I grew up so I vaguely recall the name. He was one of the old two sport athletes.
Beautiful story on perseverance. Somebody needs to make one of those business acronym posters with him standing in the batters box, all those stats of how many games and days he has waited for this, and then the big letters at the bottom PERSEVERANCE.
