10 states are the biggest fans of Baseball, as the sport is most popular in the likes of California, New Jersey, and New York – home to the infamous Yankees.

The best lessons are often taught by kids.  Watch them and they will show you compassion, love and forgiveness.  One of the sweetest and most sportsman like moments happened at a Little League World Series Game.

The hit batter was up, the pitcher throws and accidentally hits the batter in the head, sending him to his knees and holding his head.  Instead of getting angry, here is what he does.

He gets up and notices that the pitcher is upset that he harmed his baseball brother.  He goes over to him and actually hugs the pitcher comforting HIM and showing grace like I have never seen before in any kind of sport.  To learn more and see the video, check out the story in the New York Post. I know his parents were beaming with pride.  Both those kids and really all of us, learned an amazing lesson from this wonderful gesture of sportsmanship, love and compassion.
