In 2 days, I leave for my 8th season of professional baseball. My destination? Edmonton, Alberta Canada. I'm very excited to get started. I was very disappointed in my underachieving 2008 season. Add that motivation to my already-strong competitive nature and you can see why I'm anxious for this season. I feel I have something to prove to everyone, including myself. Because of that, I worked harder than I probably ever have to prepare for this season. I spent overtime in the gym and in the cage, and also ate healthier than in the past. So with all of this, why Edmonton?
Edmonton has always been one of my favorite cities to visit as a player. The city is very beautiful with a great stadium. I have heard nothing but great things about the manager, Brent Bowers. He is a former big leaguer that players love to play for. Also, I have played in the past with quite a few guys on the Capitals roster this year. And the guys I haven't played with or against look very strong on paper. If you add all that up, I'm looking forward to a very successful season.

I am currently conducting baseball lessons in the Columbus area. Lessons will be offered to kids ages 8-22. Instruction will focus on the proper mechanics of the professional swing. Instruction can also be given in other areas (defense, pitching, baserunning, bunting) at your request. For the more advanced player, I will go into detail on the finer aspects of the game including training secrets, professional drills, and the proper mental approach to the game. Please email me if you are interested in learning more.

The Hometown Homers Foundation is a charitable fund that I am in the process of setting up. The basic premise is I will raise money through various means and then give away that money to deserving causes. Money will be raised through different events at baseball games, private donations, silent auctions of autographed memorabilia, a golf outing and others yet to be determined. |
