First of all, a Christian article about former George Washington and St. John's men's baseketball head coach Mike Jarvis coaching the Athletes In Action men's basketball team in the Jones Cup tournament in Taiwan for the second straight year: http://www.aia.com/news.aspx?newsitem=229.

Next, a Christian article about PGA golfer Lee Janzen and how his faith has gotten him through a rough part of his career: http://www.mlive.com/buickopen/index.ssf/2007/06/faith_sustains_janzen_through_1.html. (originally found at: http://www.bpsports.net/bpsports.asp?ID=5622)

Here's an article about Mariners relief pitcher Mark Lowe (who I've never heard of before!) and his attempted comeback from rare kind of elbow surgery. He sounds like a guy to really root for. Here's a quote about him and his family:

Lowe's father is a church deacon and his mother is deeply religious as well. Lowe attended Sunday school regularly and remains an active churchgoer. His parents and girlfriend feel Lowe's faith gave him added patience to ignore the odds against him.

Here's the article: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sports/2003767238_mari290.html. (originally found at: http://mlb.mlb.com/pa/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070629&content_id=2055993&vkey=mlbpa_news&fext=.jsp)

Also, an article about Astros 2nd baseman Craig Biggio's 3,000 hit and what he's more importantly done in the Houston community throughout his career: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070629&content_id=2056571&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb.

Lastly, a funny article about Georgia football head coach Mark Richt (a Christian) throwing out the ceremonial first pitch before a Braves home game last week: http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/sports/uga/stories/2007/06/29/0630richt.html.
