O yes, it's true. Not all people suck, even though it seems like it a whole lot these days. And I'll go even farther, not all rich people suck. Just look at this story.
Josh Beckett walks over to a young boy taking a picture of him and hands him a ball. Not "stop the presses" material but then it gets a little more interesting. The kid jumps a bit and then is completely overwhelmed with joy, actually sits next to his dad and starts weeping. Now...I know that giving a ball to someone isn't that big of a deal, so I'm not ordaining Beckett a saint, but he didn't have to do that whatsoever. He could have walked to the mound and pitched, gotten an ovation from the crowd and it's a normal day. But the fact that he actually gave it to a fan to whom it meant (obviously) so much to is just cool. That kid will NEVER forget that (beckett is his favorite player btw) and that ball will be his most prized possession for a long time. It's not a "good samaritan" level story, but it shows that even the slightest kindness can go a long way.
Not everything good has to be yelled over a loud speaker or done with a ceremony. Sometimes simple things just KICK ASS
