lifetime. Unfortunately for me, that had ended early and forced me to stop playing baseball, due to a wrist tumor formed from throwing curve balls at a young developing age. My passion and love for baseball continued to form an inner spirit that clawed at my heart for over thirty five years; andlater in life, I once again found baseball and attacked it with a vengeance. My comeback has been heart warming, full throttle, green light; take no prisoners as I share my story with you from 1957 to 2009. My story begins on the eastside of Brockton, Massachusetts- and leads to my present basebal experiences and life.
Being an eastside kid has had a very special meaning for me as well as other real eatside kids. Its not that we were tough- I guess it was the true grit, attitude, unity and loyalty to our friends at the sandlots, bonding with teammates, and neighborhoods as we formed a bond to each other as similar as I had shared in my Military career. I share my fight with heart condition, comebacks, injuries and an inside and personal look on how baseball beats in my heart. Along the way I talk about life growing up in the fifties, work ethics, family values and my love for animals and experiences as well as from being a paratrooper in the Military.
My dream is to make a difference, set examples, and inspire others to enjoy the game of baseball. My love for the game has been rewarding, baseball has been my heartbeat, and my passion os for the game as “I am the kid from the eastside” So follow the seams of the baseball nad imagine the ball bounce from bat to glove and experience through my eyes and listen to my heartbeat. My passion is alive and well as I am always ready for another game.
