WOW what a day !

WOW.. what a day.. first off today was the first day I was able to fully get back to full Baseball activities and it felt great.  Had a little setback when my knee and then my back tightened but I wasn't going to let that stop me from being on the field.
 Let me first explain what control games are. They are games that are directed and instructed by the instructors to have certain situations be played and we as the umpires have to work the plays that are given.

    I was very nervous since I hadn't been on a field in over a week, but I did pretty well only making a few minor mistakes that usually arise when I haven't been on a field in a while. Then after lunch I had my inning. Now our inning is a full 3 outs ( or as much as the instructors sitting up in the podium want us to work)   Once again was nervous but I was excited and was able to work my first official inning since I last was on a field in August.
 The feeling of having all my fellow umpires rooting for me was soo helpful and exhillerating and I am soo just proud of myself for pushing through the pain, and for forcing myself to push through and the results were really good. I know that I still have alot to prove and to show and I am just starting to let it out... watch out guys the Sashman is ready to show everyone how good of an umpire I really am !

Update

Well lets see what has happened since I last updated in march. I finally got to go to NYC and visit my sister and it was a wonderful trip, a trip of a lifetime to be completely honest. I got to see 2 broadway shows, went backstage after one of them. Got to see my cousins and visit with my sister which is something that I rarely get to do. I mean as we were growing up my sister and I were never really that close, and it wasn't till I think we both graduated high school and moved out and into new directions in our lives that our friendship took a new direction as well . I mean we have always been close with one another (goes with being twins) but yet, I really think as we have grown and matured, our friendship as gotten much stronger which is a very wonderful thing for me, because she is the best big (lil since she is only 4'11") sister in the world. During my visit we had so many times where we would just sit and talk with one another, just talk about our lives, the d...

How 14 years forging relationships in MLB should help Cora in the first year as Red Sox Manager

 photo credit: The Mass Media How 14 years forging relationships in MLB should help Cora in the first year as Red Sox Manager When the Red Sox hired Alex Cora as their new manager at the end of October, there were many stand out characteristics that the new manager had including his great communication style. But it was his relationships with the players that he was able to form with them that set him apart from the other candidates for the job. Cora who spent 14 years in MLB including 4 with the Red Sox, was able to relate and form relationships with rookies including in 2007 with then-rookie Dustin Pedroia, as well as use his experience to relate to the veteran player like Manny Ramirez.   Cora said this at his introductory press conference, about how he views inter-personal relationships with his players, " But you’ve got to care about each other. That’s the most important thing. They’re human beings, man, and you’ve got to talk to them. You’ve got to see ho...

Its Kinda a Funny Story

I first watched this movie a week after my own attempt at ending my life, and it brought alot of what was going on in my life at the time to light and made me actually slowly appreciate the small things in life that I do have. I have a great family, wonderful supportive friends, who care about and maybe even like me in return. After a friend suggested I rent a movie, I went out and rented this movie again and once again it reminded me how precious life is and how I do have a lot going for me even though sometime I may feel like I don't have a lot going and that my life is in upheaval, that I know that things have a way of working out and that I just need to balance myself between pushing myself to go after what I want and to be patient and letting things come to me. The Phoenix is once again preparing for liftoff
