So, like all Americans, Ray dwells in the past. Ray's dad played minor league baseball and Ray…

You may only be at a ball park to witness a no-hitter once in your entire life, if ever. But to be on the team that is throwing one, an even rarer accomplishment. The possibility of being the pitcher to actually throw the no-hitter itself, almost the rarest feat in all of baseball.

While playing some may think you feel the pressure of…

He was fine in the morning before school, when I got home from school, he was weak and not moving much. I rush into the house and get everything ready. I tried to feed him, but he didn't eat. Everything either came out of his nose of right back out of his mouth. I knew then that it was the beginning of the end. I took him to his mom and…
