July, 2007 Hi friends,
As a young boy, first playing baseball, I dreamed of winning and
wearing a World Series ring. Like many other youngsters, this
was a goal that I hoped I would achieve.
In 1997, I was lucky enough to win that coveted ring with the
Florida Marlins. It was one of the best days of my baseball life
and last month I had the opportunity to relive that great time.
The occasion was interleague play, the scene was Dolphins
stadium in Miami and the event was the 10th Anniversary of the
Marlins winning the World Series trophy.
On June 14, I joined with many of my teammates from the 1997
team in a pre-game ceremony that honored our victory. We
enjoyed being there with the fans who came out to see our team
and to cheer on this season's squad as they took on the
Cleveland Indians.
Most important, the anniversary gave us the opportunity to
support the Florida Marlins Community Foundation as it raised
funds for the important work they do for young people. A fun
event was held earlier in the week and the proceeds will benefit
the Foundation as they help youngsters to build a brighter future
through education, the arts and baseball.
We've added some photos to our photo gallery and you can also
visit the website to view (and purchase) where photographer
Denis Bancroft has posted all of the photos from the celebration.
That's it for now. I'll be back soon with my next entry.
