...you're a true American sports hero with a quote like this: "You're talking about representing the United States of America," he said. "You've got that across the front of your chest. To be able to get that hit, that's got to be right up there at the top of the list."

Every American should be proud to represent his/her country, regardless of the situation, and David Wright personified what has long been called the "American Spirit" with his comment above. Makes me feel like watching "Rocky IV" again.
