This one is destined to be a classic. (adapted for baseball from his earlier YouTube recreation of the famous Herb Brooks to USA Hockey team inspiration speech given the night they beat the Russians for gold at the 1980 Winter Olympics, “Miracle on Ice”. )
See the thumbnails on the right side at YouTube for the original versions this. Josh has appeared on a number of television shows, including “Ellen”, who gave him an expense paid trip to the Vancouver Olympics, where he reprised the speech for the USA hockey team the night they beat Team Canada. Should have brought him back to do it again before the gold medal game, eh?
Red Sox fans will love this…..and even you Yankee fans will have to smile at the kid. Check out the reactions of some of the Red Sox players towards the end of the clip. Priceless !
