Central Washington University softball players Mallory Holtman and Liz Wallace were honored at the 2008 AT&T National Sportsmanship Awards for "the home run that touched them all." Holtman and Wallace carried Western Oregon University's Sara Tucholsky (right) around the bases after the senior hit her first home run - only to tear her ACL as she rounded first base.

Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig participated in the event's live keynote interview with emcee Mike Bush. Selig received a lifetime achievement award for his role in baseball's significant renaissance and charitable endeavors.

 

The National Sportsmanship Awards celebrates all that’s right in sports.  Hosted annually by the St. Louis Sports Commission and the Citizenship Through Sports Alliance, the event highlights the most remarkable examples of sportsmanship.  It honors athletes and personalities from around the nation for their integrity, class, selflessness, perseverance, kindness, community service and overall commitment to sportsmanship.  The event features a wonderful mix of major league superstars, local favorites, and individuals who bring with them the most amazing and heartwarming stories.  They come together for one of the most meaningful and inspiring nights in sports.

The National Sportsmanship Awards is the signature event of the St. Louis Sports Commission’s Sportsmanship Initiative.  By recognizing outstanding individuals who set a high standard with their approach on and off the field, the organization hopes to set the tone for all parents, coaches and fans to be “good sports” and to pass those values on to children in the community.  It’s the Sports Commission’s goal to make St. Louis a model community for good sportsmanship and home to America’s best sports.
