    I'm not usually a huge fan of these things, feeling that Tom Rinaldi tries too hard to tug at the heartstrings, but you've really got to see this piece about two Ohio HS wrestling teammates, one with his legs amputated and the other almost legally blind. The story on ESPN.com is almost as good. I'll guarantee you have goosebumps--or more--after reading/watching this.

    Saw it this morning before leaving for work. Unbelievable story. Solid work.

    Yes it was. The thing made me late for church, but I wasn't going to leave till I saw the end.

    Great storytelling. The Sixth Sense-ish twist regarding the wrestler who carried the one with no legs makes the piece.
