This web site was launched to share some fun and interesting stories about former major league baseball players that I have had the opportunity to play baseball with over the past several years.  2008 marks my 15th year of working in the world of baseball.  I worked with Mike Stenhouse for 4 years running the Montreal Expos Fantasy Camp (1992 through 1996) and have done volunteer work with the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association since 1995. In 1994 I ran my first Legends Game (Sarasota Legends Game to benefit MDA).  Five years ago I decided to go back to running my own event and the Legends of Baseball Game to benefit Make-A-Wish was born.

On these web pages you will find upcoming events that former Major League Players will be taking part in and if you have a question about getting involved please drop me an e-mail.  I started out as just a guy that loved the game.  As of this year I have now caught in 30 Legends Games and been a part of more then 50 events.  In 2006 I began coaching my son's little league team so I am very committed to these events because of the importance that they play in bringing in money for great children's charities like the Joe DiMaggio Hospital, All Children's Hospital and Make-A-Wish of Central Florida.  To date the Make-A-Wish Legends Game has raised over $70,000 in just 5 years and we have been able to grant 12 wishes for some very deserving kids.  If you love the game you can make a difference in the world by bringing your passion for baseball to the playing field and raising money for some great charities.

My thanks to Chris Lennon for all of his assistance in getting this website back up and running. 

Also my thanks to my wife Karen for all of her support in the many baseball related ventures that I seem to take on.  Not only is she a great supporter but she is also runs the dugout at our Little League games and was a photographer for the Legends Game to benefit Make-A-Wish this past May.  It is just awesome to have both her and Johnny on the field helping out at these events.
