What Rick Reilly has learned

Rick Reilly on universal truths -- a sample:

* The best stories aren't on the cover. They're the kid at the end of the bench, the fan who snuck into the game, the coach who shouldn't be alive. They're the ones that are hardest to find, and hardest to forget.

* You can write all the inspirational messages you want on your kid's school lunch bag. Nothing beats genetics.

* Your kid won't remember the score of a single game he played. He'll only remember the time he laughed so hard in the dugout that Capri Sun came out of his nose. Relax.
