Texas Rangers draft paralyzed Georgia player; Houston Astros draft paralyzed pitcher
Quote:
The Texas Rangers drafted University of Georgia outfielder Johnathan Taylor on Wednesday in the 33rd round of baseball's amateur draft. The Houston Astros took Buddy Lamothe, a pitcher out San Jacinto College, in the 40th round.
Doesn't sound like anything out of the ordinary until you know this: Taylor, a junior from Acworth, Ga., was partially paralyzed this spring when he suffered a broken neck in an outfield collision with teammate Zach Cone. Lamothe was paralyzed in a diving accident last month.

The whole feel-good story.
