NYC
August 14, 2009I just got in to Italy and am battling the jet lag. Like last year, I’m in a town just outside of Pisa working at Major League Baseball’s European academy. Basically MLB takes the 70 or so best players from all over Europe ages 15-20 and puts on a clinic for a few weeks.
Wally Joyner is doing the hitting, I’ve got the catchers, Barry Larkin has the infielders, Bruce Hurst and Lee Smith do the pitchers. John McClaren is the camp organizer. It’s a really well run affair spearheaded by Mike McClellan and his talented, hardworking crew from MLB. I’m really lucky to be here.
Anyway, more on all of that once we start getting into the camp and I’ve had a chance to see the 10 catchers play. I’m sure there will be a lot of instructional type blogs in the near future.
But for now, all I’ve got for you is some boring family shots of our trip to New York. Because my family couldn’t make the trip to Italy with me this summer, we spent a few days in NYC together.
We had a blast. We saw a show, ate well, walked a ton, went to the zoo, went to museums, rode on double decker buses, went in tall buildings, etc.
Here are a few shots from the trip…cheers.

Art from the MOMA, reminds me of Empire State.
The most poisonous animal in the world! Enough to kill 10 people in 1 frog.
