Barry Zito Salutes Our War Heroes

What a great day yesterday was. Going to Scottsdale to be a part of Strikeouts for Troops annual spring training ceremony was something I wanted to be apart of for years but always had to settle for just posting the photos and admiring the brave souls that finaly get some well deserved recognition from afar. This year however I finally made some time to attend and it was worth every minute of it. Getting to see the troops up front and personal and hear their stories really was amazing. Also seeing Barry Zito, Jake Peavy and Matt Cain spend time with them and give them the proper amount of respect was outstanding as well. Each player seemed more impressed with the troops then the troops were with them.

Having worked with Barry on this charity for so long I always thought it was great to see how much time and resources he devotes to making sure they can pick up the check for so many of these soldiers who can’t pay for their medical expenses. But being there in person when there were no cameras rolling and seeing them hang out with each soldier and talk about their experiences in war was truly gratifying to see that this charity is not just another tax write off. It really comes from a great place and it is an honor to be involved with it.

Orlando Hudson website relaunched!

Orlando Hudson website relaunched!

With Orlando Hudsons free agent signing with the Minnesota Twins for the 2010 season came an immediate need to change his website over from his previous Los Angeles Dodgers look and feel. This has been the third or forth time that we had a player that has switched teams and has needed a very quick site redesign to capitalize on the energy and passion of his new fan base.

What makes it really challenging is the player never knows about the change until the last minute whether it is a trade or an off season free agent move. You might have some idea of where they may go, but if you try and guess so you will be prepared it always seems like they never end up with the team you prepared for (as a matter of fact I have yet to guess right). The other big issue is that it just won’t feel right to switch the player site over to the new team colors and use photos from the previous team, so you really have to act quickly to comp up a photo and make it look like they are wearing the new team uniform.
