I usually do not watch television, but my spouse yesterday cornered me an MADE me watch a segment of Sunday Morning. The segment was the story of a race horse (didn't catch the name) who in more than 100 races has never won. The horse is retiring and being honored in a ceremony for being the losingest race horse in history (not sure if that's in the U.S. or the universe).
Made me wonder - are there stories on SOL where the main character is a lovable loser?
