The Best Thing That Happened This Week

Little league player Mo’ne Davis accepts the award for best breakthrough athlete at the ESPY Awards at the Microsoft Theater on Wednesday, July 15, 2015, in Los Angeles.

Ordinarily, frankly, we’d be sick and tired of Mo’ne Davis by now. Fifteen minutes are up! She’s just one kid, you know? She plays baseball. BFD. But every time we edge close to saturation, something else comes up — some idiot college kid rags on her and she’s the soul of graceful forgiveness, or she starts a sneaker line to benefit impoverished girls, or she collects her ESPY award for “Best Breakthrough Athlete” in a fluffernutter-white dress of utterly disarming charm — and we want to embrace her all over again, for serving as the best possible ambassadress our city could have. Mo’ne forever!
