Forget the Phillies for a moment.
It's probably not all that hard to do after they lost a series at home to the Braves this weekend.
They're not the most important sports story out there today.
They're not even the most important baseball story.
You want a little inspiration on a Monday morning?
Meet Andrew Austen. The pitcher is leading his Radnor High baseball team into the District One Class AAA tournament. The Raiders were struggling to start the season, sporting an 0-5 mark when Austen stepped into the breech and gave the team - and its sagging pitching staff - a much-needed boost.
Andew is just like any other high school kid, except for one thing. He only has one arm. It hasn't stopped him from excelling on the field - or off it for that matter.
If you do nothing else today, make sure you read Matt DeGeorge's profile on Austen. You can't help but root for this kid.
