Hello to all my fans, supporters and listeners. I came into the studio briefly to give you all a quick update and to express my appreciation for all your support in this extremely difficult time for me and my family. 

As you know my son John passed away in a tragic accident. He died doing what he loved and he died protecting our country. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your messages, your prayers, your love and your support. It has meant a tremendous amount to me and my family. 

I'll be back on July 4th with new episodes where I'll be present and engaged and full of passion as I know my son would want me to be.

As many of you are now aware, my son John, passed away in an aviation accident just over a week ago.  We will continue to post episodes that are relevant and evergreen messages of positivity, faith and  family until my return.  Thank you all for the words of support, kindness and love.

Sometimes people see others who are successful and think to themselves, “Oh they got lucky,” or “They must have had it easy.” What they don’t see is the patience, hard work and relentless effort these people put in to achieve those results. I remember in 1989 when I was playing for the New York Yankees we were out of the playoff hunt by early September but our first baseman Don Mattingly had put up great numbers that year. On the last day of the year I showed up early to stretch and get ready and under the bleachers was Don Mattingly. The game meant nothing in the standings but listen to today’s short to hear how Mattingly showed me how he ignored those circumstances and created his own.

Vulnerability, transparency, empathy. These are not words people often associate with strength and personal growth. But I have found that these qualities are absolutely key to connecting with other people and fellowship with others is the foundation of personal growth. I discovered this by accident when after my divorce everyone in my family was told to go to 10 counseling sessions by the judge in our case. I ended up going to a men’s group for my 10 sessions. I showed up with a closed mind not wanting to share or even listen, but over time I found myself connecting to the men there. The vulnerability and transparency I experienced there created fellowship with others and ultimately the experience was so transformative that I stayed in that group for 12 years.

When Katie was 9 years old she took home a seedling from school and tended to it until it became a massive 40lb cabbage. Knowing it was way too much for her family to eat, she decided to donate it to a soup kitchen. That one act of generosity sparked a fire in young Katie and she realized she could grow food and donate to those in need. 

She started her own garden at age 9 and as a teenager started a non-profit called Katie’s Krops that seeks to fund and educate kids all over the country to start their own gardens and donate the harvest to people who need it. Katie’s Krops now has over 100 gardens across the U.S. and has donated thousands of pounds of fresh produce.

Katie sheepishly says she hopes to solve world hunger and is a shining example of how generosity not only helps others but can create a positive movement, which can impact our world.

Today I wanted to share an episode from this past Veteran's Day where I expressed my gratitude and appreciation for my son and his service to our country along with all of the men and women of our armed forces who keep us all safe. 

When you see a person in uniform please thank them for their service. 

SAN DIEGO, CA -  Former MLB player, Steve Sax announced the passing of his son, John Jeremy Sax on Wednesday in the recent military crash in Imperial County, California. John Sax, and four (4) fellow members of the Purple Fox family, died in the crash during a training mission near Glamis, California.

“It is with complete devastation that I announce that my precious son, Johnny was one of the five (5) US Marines that perished on Wednesday, June 8 in the Osprey Military crash near San Diego” said Sax. “For those of you that knew Johnny, you saw his huge smile, bright light, his love for his family, the Marines, the joy of flying airplanes and defending our country. He was my hero and the best man I know, there was no better person to defend our country.” said Sax.

John Sax was 33 at the time of his death and was a Captain in the US Marines flying the MV-22B Osprey and based in Camp Pendleton in Southern California. He served the Marine Corp for five years and eight months, awarded with the National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and a Letter of Appreciation.

The Sax family asks for privacy as they navigate this loss and thanks everyone for their support during this difficult time.

In this episode I did several months ago, I tell the story of how John knew from age 7 that he wanted to be a pilot. He showed incredible determination and conviction as he grew into a man who graduated in the top 5% of his class at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.  I am re-posting this episode in tribute to my son, John Jeremy Sax.

On June 3rd, 2021 Tyler Zombro was hit in the side of the head by a 104 mph line drive and rushed to a hospital. It took 16 plates and over 35 screws to stabilize his skull and save his life. Zombro spent more than two months in speech therapy and physical therapy. 

A few weeks ago Tyler stepped on the mound against the very same team to record his first appearance back with the Durham Bulls after his harrowing experience. Zombro stared death in the face and has returned with a chance this year to be called up to the big leagues. 

It’s a great story and a great lesson for all of us to never take life for granted and to get up and push forward, especially after great hardship.

If you haven’t heard of Kelsie Whitmore you might be hearing a lot about her soon. Earlier in May, she made history by becoming the first woman to start for a team in the Atlantic League, a Major League Baseball affiliated league. 

Kelsie pitches and plays left field and she has her sights set on making it into a Major League organization. She played baseball her whole life and only played softball in college so she could get a scholarship. All she did there was have one of the best seasons ever at Cal State Fullerton. 

Kelsie knows how important she is to young women everywhere and doesn’t shy away from that fact, but she is also very clear that she is playing because she loves the game and she plans to be in a Major League organization.
