Dear Internets,
This story made my morning (it's an old story apparently, but I missed it the first time):
Love,
Jane
P.S. For those of you who can't watch YouTube, here's a link to the Wikipedia article.
P.P.S. Wikipedia? I really must be living under a rock.

Hello.... are you under there?
The thing that always got me about that story was the rest of the students... how TRULY excited they are about Jason...
BTW... Jason was in the new Gatorade commercial that aired during the Super Bowl.
As the parent of an autistic kid... yeah I shed a tear or two watching it the first few times...
I don't get it, why was he never allowed to play before? Obviously he's capable.
There were questions about his eligibility I believe... Since he didn't have a standard academic curriculum...
dammit jane, i didn't want to bawl today.
Can't see YouTube at work, so thanks for the link. I hadn't heard that story before...amazing.
(Also, I LOVE WIKIPEDIA!)
omg thanks so much for posting this!! i cannot believe how much i'm bawling!! such a great experience. i'm so glad this is for everyone to see!
If you were wondering, I'm crying in my office...I have to wipe the tears away before anyone sees them...I don't want to be known as the girl that cries!
Way to go to make me cry! It's good tears though. Such a sweet story so early in the morning!
