Roger Huston Is A New Hero Of Mine

I just want to say that Roger Huston is a new hero of mine.You might not know who Roger Huston is, but I do. If you read a little further, you’ll see why he is a new hero of mine. I think the guy deserves it.

For those who don’t know, Roger Huston is an announcer at a horse track in Pennsylvania. Apparently, a bunch of deer jumped onto the track in the middle of a race. Huston rolled with events, reportedly announcing things like: “As they race down the track, Bambi has the lead. Here comes Rudolph from the outside!”

You can read all about it here.

Now, I know that this guy didn’t save any lives or anything like that, but I still think this guy deserves some recognition. Few of us are able to react that quickly when life throws something at us that we are, based on the context, that utterly unprepared for. Huston actually managed to react, and react with humor.

I can only applaud him and hope that one day I’ll be able to come up with a line like that in a similar situation. It may not be a big deal to everyone, but to me it seems like something special.
