Hattip to Paul Zummo, the Cranky Conservative.  The event in the video above occurred two years ago on Disability Awareness Day at Fenway Park.  The way in which the crowd joined in to help the young man gives me optimism as to the basic decency of much of the human race.  I have heard many renditions of the Star-Spangled Banner, but as the father of an autistic son I have never heard one which moved me more.
