On August 8, 1982, a 4-year-old boy

 

On August 8, 1982, a 4-year-old boy at Fenway Park was hit in the head by a foul ball. Jim Rice saw the accident and quickly realized that it would take too long for EMTs to get through the crowd. Without hesitation, he ran from the dugout, picked up the boy, and carefully laid him on the dugout floor, where the medical team could help.

When the boy arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later, doctors said Jim's quick actions had saved his life. Jim returned to the game in a bloodstained uniform, showing real bravery. Later, Jim visited the boy in the hospital and found out the family didn’t have much money. He went to the business office and made sure the medical bills were sent to him.

This is what a true sports hero looks like!
