Good News Tuesday: This Little League Team's Secret Weapon Was Ice Cream
Description
Some nights the news is heavy enough that finding the good in it takes real effort. Tonight is built around doing exactly that, starting with a group of twelve-year-olds from Vancouver who just delivered Canada's best Little League World Series showing in decades, and did it after getting blown out in their opening game.
Their secret was not a coach's speech or a locker room strategy session. It was something a kid came up with, and it worked well enough to carry a team all the way back from a rough start. There is a version of that same trick that applies to anyone dreading their next Monday morning meeting.
A story out of the Bronx proves the same point on a different scale, where one small act of generosity kept growing long after the person who gave it had moved on. And if you have ever wondered what actually fuels a comeback, tonight settles the debate on the ice cream question too.
