Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In
the third quarter, when the team was ten points behind,
a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker
room and put on his football gear. As he ran onto the
sidelines, the coach and his players were astounded to
see their faithful teammate back so soon.
"Coach, please let me play. I've just got to play
today," said the young man. The coach pretended not
to hear him. There was no way he wanted his worst player
in this close playoff game. But the young man persisted,
and feeling sorry for the kid, the coach finally gave
in.
"All right," he said.
"You can go in." Before long, the coach, the
players and everyone in the stands could not believe their
eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before
was doing everything right. The opposing team could not
stop him. He ran, he passed, blocked and tackled like
a star. His team began to triumph. The score was soon
tied. In the closing seconds of the game, this kid intercepted
a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown.
The fans broke loose. His teammates hoisted him onto their
shoulders. The kid was given the loudest cheers you can
ever hear.
Finally, after the stands had emptied and the team had
showered and left the locker room, the coach noticed that
this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone.
The coach came to him and said, "Kid, I can't believe
it. You were fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How
did you do it?"
He looked at the coach with tears in his eyes and said,
"Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that
my dad was blind?"
The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, "Dad
came to all my games, but today was the first time he
could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could do
it!"
