From a Wall Street Journal story by Jason Gay headlined “When Little Leaguers Set the Example for Adults”:
It’s the Little League hug that stirred the planet.
The moment happened last week, in Waco, Texas, during regional play of the Little League World Series. The opponents were Pearland, Texas, and Tulsa, Okla. Pearland pitcher Kaiden “Bubs” Shelton threw a pitch that veered dangerously inside and thunnnnnk—it smacked right off the protective helmet of Tulsa batter Isaiah “Zay” Jarvis, who dropped to the ground and clutched his head.
