Many give Boston Red Sox fans plenty of grief, some of it warranted, some of it not. Red Sox Nation has become, for better or worse, a whipping boy. But the following video, of the crowd at Fenway Park helping an autistic man sing the National Anthem, is simply an incredible display. As he begins to trip-up during the middle of the song, the crowd encourages him, then sings along with him.
The moment took place during Disability Awareness Day at Fenway. The video below truly speaks for itself.

Job well done, Red Sox Nation.

As a Yankees fan
I have always disagreed with Red Sox fans on a lot of things.
As Vice President of a Best Buddies chapter, and a huge supporter of those with disabilities, I can say that I respect every single person in attendance at that game.
That was awesome.
Kudos.
