There were no losers at this year's World Softball Championships in Surrey, British Columbia. The U.S. may have beaten Japan for the gold medal on Sunday, but the 10-day tournament featured a grand slam of random acts of kindness that made everyone - from players to spectators - a real winner.

The French players from Nice - which was recently victim to the Bastille Day terror attack - were met with French flags, flowers, and a limo tour of the area.
