Well that day is here, finally. Today I’ll be ‘allowed’ to play catch for the first time since January. A lot has happened and there is probably even more left to do, but it’s a step.
As we were talking through things the other day a point I was trying to make to anyone involved was [...]

I had the privelage of meeting ALS patients and their families at the Tokyo Dome this morning prior to the exhibition game. There are 8,000 known ALS patients living in Japan. I would guess that there are 75% of that number living here undiagnosed as well.

Well maybe not. Let’s start at the beginning.
Late last year we had confirmation of MLB’s desire for the Red Sox to open the 2008 baseball season in Japan. At first glance an exciting cool proposition. I have no idea what people were thinking but I know the players gave this a lukewarm reception at best, [...]

Congratulations to John McCain in winning the Republican GOP nomination. I can’t imagine a finer person now in position to become our next President. If you are someone that voted for another candidate, and haven’t heard this man in person, I would urge you to do so.

To the incredible heroes at Walter Reed we had the honor and privilege of meeting yesterday, both staff and patients.
I hope you all understood each and every one of us meant it when we said the honor was all ours. People throw the words hero and warrior at professional athletes all the time, and I [...]

On a resounding day of victories. I am proud to know the man and proud to see others believing in him as well. I am not sure what the overall turnout was yesterday but I am hearing it was large, which is fantastic.

Regardless of your political affiliation, get out and vote today if you are in one of the states holding their primary. If you want to come here and scream bloody murder about politics or opinions on politics at least bring the credibility of having voted with you.
FYI I cast my vote for one John McCain [...]

Dear Curt and Shonda:
My wife Carolyn and daughter Michelle appreciate the kind thoughts from both of you , including [...]
