I believe that baseball is just like Life. I have always had the drive to succeed in sports. And I work very hard to get myself there. One of my first memories that I have was when I was…

Baseball is in my blood. Like the light hair and eyes I inherited from my father, and the hot Italian temper I got from my mother, through my veins a love of baseball runs. Until recently, where my passion for the sport came from I was not sure.

support, pre-competition routines, and pep-talks all played a part. One thing that was very different was their motivation to play the sport. While Jim was mainly intrinsic motivated, he did have extrinsic motivation to get him to try out for the major league again in the form of a bet.
