What a captain. What a human being. Never seen anything like that before.
In my 40 years I've only twice ever personally observed leadership greater than what we witness tonight.

One time in little league a teammate of mine hurt his knee and in a grand gesture our coach said, "shake it off, rub a little dirt on it." The fans close enough to hear were moved to tears.

The other occurred when our Pee Wee AA goalie let in a softy. A fellow teammate somehow came up with "shake it off." It was a truly life altering moment.
