Thanks for Visiting

Thanks for visiting "Standing in Center Field With a Latte" . A bit of a different title, and of course I'll explain how it came about in the near future. This is a story about a kid who grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y. , sitting in the bleachers of Yankee Stadium with his Dad and brother. (from now on will only be referred to as "The Stadium"). At some point in his life, he finds himself playing catch with his son in centerfield of The Stadium, numb and emotional from the experience. These are stories you have never heard before, and will never hear again. These are true stories... hilarious stories, sad stories, my stories.
I have had so many people tell me that they wished I would put my career into a book.
I thought a blog might be nicer. These are true accounts of my 12 years in a Major League Baseball Training Room. They won't always be easy to write, or to read.
These are stories of the high life, terrible lows, death and addiction.

This blog will make you laugh a lot, cry a bit, and show you some of the dark side you may never have thought about.

  8. If you can take care of major league baseball players imagine the relief you could provide to us unrecognized, underpaid moms who experience the same strains and just as much stress but without the paycheck or uniform. Actually we do have uniforms but they are without numbers and names because we don't wash them everyday or become iconic when we put them on. We carry it in the shoulders as we wear our shoulders as earings most days without knowing it, ahhh can you help with us underdogs as well?

    Want to hear more about how you can help the everyday athlete raising kids, who says dinner time with unfinished homework and chores isn't as stressful as the 7th inning stretch?!
