Team Manager Catches Fire

I saw this story last night on the CBS Evening News. Video is on the the right. It's a nice story about an autistic kid named Jason McElwain who really loved being a manager on the high school basketball team. Then his coach let him suit up for a game and put him in. Not only did he not embarass himself, he made 6 3-pointers, although his foot was clearly on the line on one of them. The best part of the story was how genuinely excited the student section and fellow teammates were as Jason was draining 3's.
