Meeting people in his work after baseball throughout that time span along with befriending so many famous athletes, made his lifestyle that much more interesting. He struck out twenty hitters in just eight innings in a high school game and was Malden High School's first inductee into its Hall of Fame in 1983. After a very successful two-year career at Mass. Bay Community College where he was a combined junior college All-America selection as a pitcher/outfielder/designated hitter, Dave attended New Haven where he played for arguably college baseball's greatest coach of all time, Frank "Porky" Vieira. At New Haven, Dave won the opening game of the 1977 College World Series in Springfield, Illinois, and posted an amazing 22-2 record with six shutouts in just two seasons. In 1988, Dave was inducted into the University of New Haven's baseball-rich Hall of Fame. Cousin of one of baseball's most colorful and recognizable players, former New York Yankee first baseman Joe Pepitone, Dave holds the distinct record of eight championships in the then famous Intercity League with the Malden Merchants and Augustine's Athletics in just ten seasons. That is an all-time record. Dave Caiazzo's Greater Boston Baseball Camp was the most popular camp in the greater Boston area for twenty-eight years. After his playing career ended, Dave worked as a major league scout for the Cleveland Indians and the Anaheim and Los Angeles Angels for eighteen seasons helping many youngsters into pro baseball and giving them a start into the professional level. One player in particular he helped along the way was former Cy Young Award Winner Steve Bedrosian who recognizes Caiazzo as a key figure in his success. He has helped so many others through college getting them scholarships at top baseball universities. He has coached pitching at the AAU level, high school and college. He was the MIT pitching coach for seven seasons. Prior to that he worked at New Haven and Bridgeport University. He is currently with Bridgeport as well as Legion pitching coach in Malden, Massachusetts. Year round he works as a private pitching instructor at Strike One's Danvers location.

But Annie has dreams of her own—most of which involve placing first at every track meet...and one starring the Royals' super-hot rookie pitcher. But nineteen-year-old Jason Brody is completely, utterly, and totally off-limits. Besides, her dad would kill them both several times over.

And sometimes, it can break your heart...

Download or read book Before I Ever Met You written by Karina Halle and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-03 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I first met William McAlister when I was just a teenager. He was handsome, had a beautiful wife and was on the verge of success, having just joined my father as his business partner. Mr. McAlister was full of smooth charm, but back then he was barely a blip on my radar. Just a family friend. Fast forward ten years: I'm 25 years old and a single mom trying to make things right for her seven-year old son. I've made some mistakes, grappled with my demons and now I'm back in the city of Vancouver, getting a second chance at a better life. I've started by working for my father's production company as an executive assistant. My first day on the job and I already know I could have a promising career there. That is until I see Will McAlister for the first time in a decade. Now recently divorced and as sophisticated as always, Will has gone from being my father's friend and business partner to something so much more. We're both older, for one thing, and he just oozes this worldly confidence and stark sexuality. Combined with his tall, muscular build and sharp suits, strong jaw and bedroom eyes, Will has turned into one hell of a distraction. A distraction I'm having a hard time staying away from, considering his office is right across from my desk and I work with him in such close proximity. But it's just a harmless crush, right? It's just an innocent fantasy of screwing him on his desk, right? It can't ever be more because he's my father's best friend, business partner, and my boss. Right? Wrong.

Download or read book Life is Not a Game of Perfect written by Bob Rotella and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1999-04-02 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people think talent is genetically determined. Either you can sing or you can't. You get calculus or it's beyond you. You have what it takes to succeed -- or you don't. The truth about human performance is far more encouraging, says Dr. Bob Rotella in Life Is Not a Game of Perfect. Dr. Rotella, the bestselling author of Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect and Golf Is a Game of Confidence, believes that talent, as conventionally defined and measured, plays a secondary role in determining one's fate. Far more important is real talent, a combination of character, attitude, and devotion, which makes greatness possible. And the good news is that anyone can develop real talent. As always, Dr. Bob Rotella speaks from experience. He has made a career of helping people chase and catch their dreams. His authority as a sports psychologist is well known. Golfers from Tom Kite to David Duval to Pat Bradley have relied on him to help them break through to triumphs on the PGA Tour. But Bob Rotella's practice extends beyond the sports world. He is a consultant on performance enhancement to leading businesses such as Merrill Lynch, General Electric, and PepsiCo. He has worked with successful people in businesses ranging from law to entertainment. From hundreds of clients and countless students, Dr. Bob Rotella has learned what works. In Life Is Not a Game of Perfect, he shares what he has learned and what he teaches his clients. Real talent, he explains, is "brilliance of a different sort." It is the nerve to choose a career doing something you love or the ability to learn to love what you do. It is courage, persistence, and determination. It is the ability to handle failure and honor commitments. Whether you think so or not, real talent is within your grasp. In Life Is Not a Game of Perfect, Dr. Bob Rotella will help you make it a decisive element in your life. He can show you how to identify and cultivate the qualities that lead to success, prosperity, and happiness.

Download or read book Sometimes Life Throws You a Curve written by Evelyn Mccollum and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At times when I was so sick I wondered if God had forsaken me, and that the prayers were not getting through. That was when I felt like Job, but like Job, I was determined to continue to trust. "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him." If I renounced my faith, turned my back on God, where else could I go? I also remembered the passage in John's Gospel: "After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him. Jesus said to the twelve, 'Will you also go away?' Simon Peter answered him, 'Where shall we go? You have the words of eternal life; so we have believed and have come to know you, that you are the Holy One of God.'" So my faith has remained intact throughout this ordeal.

Read an excerpt: Being a working mom is the most crazy, amazing, powerful, frustrating, loving experience you will ever have in your entire life. And I am here to tell you that you can do it! But you will never do it perfectly. Throw perfect out of your vocabulary. Just toss it out the window and keep on driving, because, sister, it ain't an option for you anymore. We've been fed a huge pack of lies. We've been told that we can bring home the bacon, fry it up in the pan, and feed our smiling, happy family with it. I am here to tell you that the quickest way to end up on a therapist's couch or crying into your glass of pinot noir at your girlfriend's house is to think that "perfect" and "working mother" belong in the same sentence. They don't. No one has it all. Save yourself the doctor's bill and the AA meetings and just accept the fact that if you choose to work and be a mom, life will be far from perfect.

Her words make women feel seen in their own bodies, in their own marriages, and in their own lives. Her poems are those you share with your mother, your daughter, your sister, and your friends.
