Perspective | LSU pauses baseball games against Army and Air Force to shake hands and say thanks

How awesome is this by the LSU baseball coach? -- “I wanted them to look each of those members in the eye, shake their hands firmly and tell them ‘thank you: thank you for their service, thank you for their commitment, thank you for their sacrifice, thank you for allowing us to have the life that we have,’ ” Mainieri said. “I wanted those cadets to know, from our players, how much we appreciate the sacrifice they’re making right now, and hope that it would inspire them and motivate them as they go forward and continue to make those sacrifices. And I think that was accomplished.”
