IT ALL STARTED WHEN I WAS 12 YEARS OLD AND ONE OF MY FRIENDS DODGED DOOMS DAY BECAUSE HE CAME WITH US TO WORKOUT. THAT’S RIGHT, MY FRIEND LEFT WITH US EARLY ONE MORNING, WHEN ON OUR WAY WE SAW HIS COUSIN AND ANOTHER FRIEND. WE TOLD THEM WE WERE GOING TO TRAIN IN BASEBALL AND INVITED THEM TO COME ALONG BUT THEY JUST LAUGHED. ALTERNATIVELY, THEY BOTH INSISTED MY FRIEND SHOULD STAY WITH THEM. HE CHOSE NOT TO STAY AND INSTEAD GOT A HARD, BUT GOOD DAY OF TRAINING ONLY TO RETURN AND FIND OUT THAT HIS COUSIN WAS KILLED AND THE OTHER FRIEND HAD BEEN SHOT THAT DAY. THAT COULD HAVE BEEN HIM! MY FRIEND’S CHOICE TO TRAIN IN BASEBALL SAVED HIS LIFE THAT DAY.
I HAVE ALWAYS HAD GREAT COMPASSION FOR MY FRIENDS, OTHER YOUNG KIDS AND A GROWING PASSION FOR BASEBALL. SO THE NEXT QUESTION I ASKED WAS: “HEY DAD CAN’T WE HELP TAKE KIDS OFF THE STREET THROUGH BASEBALL?” MY DAD SAID “YES, WE SURE CAN SONNIE!”
NOW, THIS IS WHAT WE DO. WE MAKE IZO53 MERCHANDISE AND HAVE PARTNERED WITH STELLA’S BATTING CAGES WHERE A PERCENTAGE OF THE PROCEEDS FUEL TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR LESS FORTUNATE OR PROBLEMATIC KIDS TO STAY OUT OF TROUBLE THROUGH BASEBALL LESSONS, EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES.
THANK YOU,
