In his debut series, Bryce Eldridge launched two towering fly balls (both 105 mph) that couldn't escape Chase Field's cavernous grasps; both would have been home runs at Oracle Park. #SFGiants

Everybody says they want it… But Few have the fortitude to do the things it takes to get what they say they want Seneca 2024 & UPJ commit Zyler Freedman - after a long chase- slays the 🐉 dragon 90 mph off the mound tonight Here’s the story 📖 Zyler came to PVS baselining on the mound at 76.2 summer between Frosh and Sophomore year. No great size or mobility gifts… but what he did have- was the heart of a Lion. And that determination and discipline led to some great gains in his first year at PVS. He had a goal of 90 mph on the mound at PBR in Feb of 2023. He came up short in a memorable display of determination : 88 mph @PBRPennsylvania He dusted himself off and put his efforts into pitch design and command. He became one of the WPIAL’s best pitchers in the toughest baseball section. After that- he went to the Youngstown Class B summer league and pitched well there and committed to UPJ. After his commitment - we sat down and devised a plan. A plan most kids don’t have the patience to execute. It was rooted in Alan Jaeger Jaeger Sports principles of Weening off volume and building two weeks for every down week. We are talking 5 months folks. Throw by throw execution for five months. Five months. Along the way- we built him up using several Randy Sullivan MPT, CSCS concepts as well as tried and tested in house methods. Today was his first “Go day”. And he hit that 90. His boys were as pumped for him as they would have been for themselves. Our plan has just begun - More lay ahead. And what’s certain is- he’ll execute whatever it takes to keep moving forward in this game “It Takes What it Takes” has long been one of our mottos- That’s perhaps never been better demonstrated than Zyler these past 10 months

June 4th, 1994 our lives forever changed. We said, “I do!”. With those two words, we said, yes, to all the highs, the lows, and everything in between. God has blessed us with four absolutely amazing children who are now amazing adults, with their own best friends/significant others (that they’re doing life with), we have three incredible grandsons, and a beautiful granddaughter on the way. We’ve lived where we both grew up (on the East Coast), and have now been out here in San Diego for just over 11 years. We’ve gotten jobs (and lost jobs), we’ve had more times than we can count where we couldn’t make ends meet, even though both you and I were working two, and sometimes three jobs at a time, and we’ve been blessed in ways that we could’ve never dreamed of. We’ve watched both my parents pass on, and are now dealing with the overwhelmingly difficult challenge of seeing your parents struggle with their own health in ways that no one should have to go through. Through it all (even in the midst of the chaos), we’ve been blessed to be by each other‘s sides! I thank God for you every day, Jillian! I love our adventures together (the big ones where we fly to somewhere we’ve never been before, and the little ones where we hop in the car with no agenda, and just drive). I love when we find ourselves in deeper conversation, laughter, and tears of joy then ever expected, and in the moments of silence, where no words are even spoken, but when we’re together, just being where our feet are. As the world (as we know it), keeps getting crazier and crazier, let’s continue to keep Christ in the center of all we do, keep leaning on and lifting each other up when it’s needed, and keep living the lives that we have been so incredibly blessed to live together. I love you with all my heart Jillian. Happy 32nd (heading into our 33rd year), Anniversary.

This was filmed at Veterinary Hospital in Colorado The officer is Lieutenant Aaron Briggs. Thirty-nine years old. Colorado Police Department. The dog in his arms is Ace, an eleven-year-old Belgian Malinois who served as Aaron's K9 patrol partner for nine years. Ace had been managing a serious progressive neurological condition for the past eight months. The department veterinarian, had been overseeing his care since the diagnosis. She had been honest with Aaron throughout about what the trajectory would look like. Last month, Ace stopped being able to complete his morning walks. Two weeks ago, he stopped eating consistently. Last week, he stopped being able to rise from his bed without help. Aaron made the appointment with Veterinary Hospital doctors on a Thursday. They told his shift commander on Friday morning. His commander offered to have other officers present. Aaron said he only wanted one person in the room. He brought his wite, Denise. Denise filmed the last few minutes on her phone because Aaron had asked her to. He told her he wanted to remember it. He didn't want to be the only person holding Ace's story after that day. The footage shows Aaron seated in the clinic's comtort room, a space Cornerstone has specifically for end-of-life appointments. Soft lighting. A blanket on the floor. Ace across Aaron's lap, his head resting against Aaron's arm. Ace's breathing was slow and shallow. He had barely lifted his head during the drive over. Dr. Cho entered the room quietly. Aaron spoke to Ace. He told him it was okay. That he'd been the best partner anyone could ask for. That he didn't have to hold on anymore. Then something happened that made Denise nearly drop the phone. Ace raised his front paws. Slowly. With visible effort. He lifted both paws and placed them on Aaron's shoulders. And held on. Aaron went completely still. His head came down against Ace's. Dr. Cho stopped. She stepped back. She did not move. The room was completely silent except for Aaron's breathing. Denise told us: "Ace could barely move. He hadn't been able to stand on his own for days. But he lifted both paws and put them on Aaron's shoulders. And Aaron just held him. I couldn't film anymore after that. I just stood there." Dr. Cho told us: "In seventeen years of practice I have had many final appointments. What Ace did in that moment I cannot explain clinically. What I can tell you is that I have never stepped back from a procedure the way I stepped back then. That moment belonged to the two of them. Everything else could wait."Ace passed away peacefully in Aaron's arms a short while later. Aaron carried him out of the clinic himself. The PD posted a department tribute to Ace that evening. Flags at the station were lowered the following morning. Aaron returned to duty two weeks later. His commander told us Aaron requested to be assigned Ace's old patrol routes. He said it helped. Not every goodbye is spoken in words. Sometimes it is two paws lifting slowly onto a shoulder to say: I know. I know. And I am not afraid.

This was filmed this last week at Fresno, California. The man's name is Jason. He's 36. The dog's name is Duke. Eight-year-old Boxer mix. Brindle coat. Two years and three months ago, Jason lost his job. Tech layoffs. Couldn't find work for months. Lost his apartment. Lived in his car with Duke for five months. Parking lots. Truck stops. Trying to survive. Then his car got repossessed. Missed too many payments. Jason had nowhere to go. No way to keep Duke safe. He surrendered Duke to Second Chance. Left crying so hard he had to pull over twice on the bus ride home. Jason got into a veteran housing program last November. Small studio. Allows dogs. He spent three months calling every shelter he could find. Searched databases. Drove to 68 different shelters across California. Found Duke's photo on Second Chance's website four days ago. Called immediately. The phone video shows Jason walking into the reunion room with his housing caseworker. Duke is standing in the middle of the room with a volunteer. Duke sees Jason. Freezes completely. Just stands there. Staring. Like his brain can't process it. Then Duke starts jumping. Straight up. Vertical jumps. Over and over. High-pitched crying sounds. That desperate jumping that means a dog's emotions are exploding and they don't know what to do with them. Then Duke runs. Full speed. Launches at Jason's chest. Jason falls backward. Both crash to the floor. Duke on top of him. Shaking like he's freezing. Frantically licking Jason's face. His neck. His ears. Won't stop. Can't stop. Jason wraps both arms around Duke. Sobbing. "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I never wanted to leave you. I had no choice." They stayed on that floor for twenty minutes before the caseworker could even get them to stand up. The volunteer told us: "Duke's been here for 27 months. Never bonded with anyone. Just... existed. Waited. We didn't think anyone was coming back for him." Jason said: "I promised him I'd come back when I had a home again. It took 27 months. 68 shelters. But I kept looking. I never stopped." Duke went home with Jason this afternoon. Two years and three months. 68 shelters. One impossible promise kept.
