My dad started his career as a phys ed teacher, was my first coach, and shared his love of sports with all three of his kids. He passed away last week, but I’ll always be grateful for his support in helping me chase my dream and sharing a passion I continue to pursue.

Incredibly painful loss for the Jays. If they miss by a game or two you’ll think of this series with the Vlad double play sticking out as a memorable moment in a season full of disappointment
