Pour Some Sugar on Me

Sports

In August of last year during a Little League Southwest Regional championship game, two 12-year-olds - one being from Tulsa - shared a moment that the would would come to experience as “The Hug”.

• Picture This: One of the players gets beamed in the head by a wild pitch, but instead of charging the mount with frustration, the player approaches the pitcher and delivers a bear hug.

• Culinary Diversity: This touching scene between the two players circulates within 12 months and the hug isn’t just a highlight reel; it’s a shining example of kindness and compassion.
