Description: 

A story told by a father about a young man who is 'borderline autistic' concerned about how the other boys on their Church basketball team would respond to his son.

Quotations: 
One day, my whole perception of Church sports changed. It had seemed that competition drove each team. Everyone wants to win, and no one wants to lose. But on this particular day, every boy was going to play. That’s what the Young Men president told me. He said that my son Adam could play.
The score and point spread had no meaning that day. Everyone won. Those who watched, especially a grateful father, and those who played will always have this special game to remember forever.
