I recently had the pleasure of reading a story on Phil Coke written by Jonah Keri. It was remarkably heartwarming to realize the success that Coke experienced after a long road of struggles in the Minor Leagues. Coke, like David, was drafted and developed in the Yankees Organization. Coke did get traded a few years …
This post was prompted by my utter shock and disbelief regarding the world we live in today. There are too many examples to give that prove the state of duress our world is in, but I will start with baseball. This wonderful yet, at times, brutal, microcosm we live in, is a prime example of …
Firstly, I have a wonderful announcement. This Stepford wife has a job! For those of you who do not understand my sense of humor, no, I am not a Stepford wife. Not in the literal sense anyway. I love the workingwoman and I know well what it means to work just to pay the bills. …
As I was driving back from the stadium this morning, it dawned on me that Scorpions in Scottsdale is a reality. Mascots are rarely selected at random. I’m glad I waited to publish this post because right when I picked David up after practice today he yelled out, “Oh my gosh! Guess what the clubby …

While living this life is far from easy, there is tremendous good that can come from being part of the baseball family. More often than not, I believe that I was placed on this path, alongside David, …
We all love a little friendly competition; it’s what makes spectator sports so popular. Becoming a proud fan of a team also helps release your competitive nature, but when it comes down to the nitty-gritty, the only person you should compete with is yourself. When used in a positive way, competition can encourage us to …
The above is a daily affirmation. All too often people identify their worth by the totality of their material possessions. This is an observation that truly saddens me. Within the past few years I have come to realize that so many people focus on what they cannot have instead of being thankful for what they do have. …
