A Real Sports Hero

Say what you will about Crede, Konerko and the rest of the South Side Crew, this is the type of character that you want your kids to learn.

BOSTON -- Chicago Cub Nomar Garciaparra rescued two women who had fallen into Boston Harbor late last week, his uncle and a witness told the Boston Herald...

Johnny O'Hara of Natick witnessed the incident from his boat. "A bunch of us came running over and sure enough, pulling the two girls from the water was Nomar," he told the newspaper. "It was crazy. Nomar was like jumping over walls to get to the girls and the other guy leaped off the balcony. It was unbelievable."

And being married to Mia Hamm gets him some additional props.
