The Sashman Speaks

So.... went out on a date this past weekend and thought it went pretty well only to later get a message saying that sadly there wasn't any romantic chemistry between us. Sometimes that happens, but my recent streak of one and done dates I wish would just end. I mean i know that I am not the greatest guy in the world and that I am not perfect but I try and do my best.

A friend of mine told me today to be proud of who and what I am and not to dwell too much on what I don't have but to accept what I do. I mean I do this for the most part, but who doesn't wish they were abit taller, or more beautiful, richer. etc... but I think sometimes you need to be happy with who and what you are.

I have great friends and I am truly blessed and lucky to have each and every one of them in my life. I have also realized that during the last few weeks, I really haven't been myself. I have been more depressed and just saddened but I know that good times are ahead of me.. just gotta keep on trucking as my 2nd grade teacher once wrote on my cast ... so that is what I will continue to do and may the light keep shinning down and the phoenix keep soaring

So, this weekend is definitely one that I am glad is coming to a close. Saturday I received a phone call from someone inviting me out for a drink and to go see a local theatre production. Well lets just say I shouldn't have left my warm comfy room. I was dooped the person who called never showed up and I was left standing in the cold waiting for an hour and half.. now you may wonder why I waited soo long.. well its because I always believe that you should give someone the benefit of the doubt, but yeah for 90 minutes I waited and wondered what happened, until I finally came home and was in a bad mood. SO today, drove to meet someone I had been talking with for about a week and thought that there was a definite connection with them only to when we did meet have her pull a 180 and be totally bored, and uninterested in being with me. This is seriously starting to get on my nerves, the fact that I am a good genuine nice guy and yet women for the most part seem to not want anything ...

Soo today was a very light day. Had no control games or innings, but did have some time out on the drill field to get back into the habit of doing routine plays to get back into the swing of full umpiring. Sadly I also started to realize how cutthroat this business can be. Soo due to my injuries I haven't fully been at full health, as well as my other physical issues, have made my career has an umpire not the easiest of things to do. I usually often in pain from my legs to my back and I do my best to push through it to continue to work my game, and due to the pain I may not look at athletic or graceful as other guys out there on the field, but I do my best. One of the guys that I have gotten to know here at school, told me that sadly there have been a few guys that have snickered and made fun of me behind my back. He told me, not to worry about that, that the situation had been taken care of and that I should just focus on my game. To hear that a guy t...

A New Hall of Fame Class

As a young kid growing up I grew up on the heroes of the game, Ruth, Dimaggio, Mantle, Williams etc. As I continued to grow up and watch the game of baseball grow and mature like I did, I was always excited to see what new legends were going to get to be immortalized into the Baseball Hall of Fame. I've been lucky enough to visit the Hall of Fame on multiple occasions including as a kid with my dad, as a member of my high school baseball team on two occasions. To now watch as more players that I grew up watching in the late 80's 90's and early 2000's it just reminds me of how wonderful this game truly and really is. I'll end this quick post with one of my favorite quotes from my favorite movie, Field of Dreams, "
