MY LIFE AS A BASEBALL WIFE

David and Camille, here. So, you want to know more about the baseball life? Well, then you have come to the right place, because educating others is our specialty and we want to show you around. Regardless of your age or baseball status, we have something to pique your interest. So grab a cup of coffee, a smoothie, or a protein shake, and get comfortable. We want to get to know YOU.

We're so excited you've stumbled upon this little space we created within the BIG world-wide-web, just so that we could connect with you. Via this pretty awesome platform, we educate young aspiring baseball players and their families, on what it takes to stand out in the world of baseball. We start by helping you identify if the path you are currently on is headed straight for your intended destination. Once we get to know you a little better, we set you up with a roadmap so that you can say you did everything you could to reach your goals while knocking a few out of the park in the process.

THIS IS US...

THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED…

 Ok, Camille talking now… From the moment I met David, baseball was a part of our lives. When I graduated from college and shortly after we got married, I decided to stop working in favor of traveling with him while he pursued this crazy dream of becoming a major league baseball player. At that time – 2012 – I started documenting our adventures in baseball together because my passion has always been writing, and I needed a way to release all the craziness that accompanied our lives. David made his MLB debut in 2013 with the New York Yankees, the same year that we welcomed our first baby. Since then, we had another baby boy, and David retired from playing. Now a coach for the New York Yankees, our adventures in baseball do not appear to be slowing down, in fact, I would say we are approaching the adolescent years. Because of this, I decided to start documenting it from a whole new perspective.

By Camille | Apr 1, 2012

Let me preface this entry by saying that I am still battling being a 100% vegan.   I follow a predominantly vegan diet, eliminating all but the occasional dairy and eggs.    Now I can tell you that the only eggs I eat are the ones beautifully stuffed inside of Morningstar’s frozen concoctions, which I depend way …

A Time to Reminisce

By Camille | Mar 28, 2012

For those of you who don’t know the story of how David and I met here is some background. It was August 2000 and I was the ripe age of thirteen enjoying my awkward phase as an 8th grader. All of a sudden, I heard that a group of baseball players had sought out a …

A Woman From the Rib

By Camille | Mar 25, 2012

“When making a decision of minor importance, I have always found it advantageous to consider all the pros and cons. In vital matters, however, such as the choice of a mate or a profession, the decision should come from the unconscious, from somewhere within ourselves. In the important decisions of personal life, we should be …

Tick Tock

By Camille | Mar 23, 2012

I can’t believe Spring Training is almost over.  It feels like just yesterday that I went to the first game, an exhibition against USF at Steinbrenner Field.   I have been visiting David every other weekend since, and after only a few days in Tampa last week, I have a darker tan than I’ve had …

I read it in the stars.

By Camille | Mar 12, 2012

If you know me, you also know that I love astrology.   I own as many astrology books as I do coffee mugs.   Yes – I am a self-proclaimed coffeeholic!   I have swayed back and forth between obsession and mere intrigue when it comes to astrology. From a very early age, I had a fascination with …
