That's good. Gamboa is a good father for giving up his medal just for his daughter's birthday. I wish him a successful future.

Hopefully he gets one, he deserves is.

He sold his medal for $1500? Wow. Id expect AT LEAST $50000 for it.

Bob should pay the money for it himself then

that sounds sweet and all but who the hell drops 1500 on a birthday party?

dude screw that. If i had kids, i would love them to death, but i would never ever sell my gold medal to help pay for a birthday party, much less my kids first birthday which she'll never remember.

Thats just ****** in my opinion.

I hope he gets one.we all can learn from a man like Gamboa.$$$$ & material things don't make you a better person than the next guy.money isn't everything...I bet his daughters first birthday party was a priceless occasion.I can't help but cheer for the guy because you know he has his life in perspective.how many gold medalists in the united states would do that?
