Zach Veach qualified for the world-famous Indianapolis 500 – “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” Although his first attempt ended with 45 laps to go when his engine failed on turn three, he… Continue reading Stay Focused at 230 MPH
By Del Duduit This past weekend, Angie and I were in Pittsburgh for a special event. I was joined by Clint Hurdle, the manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, on Saturday at the Barnes and Noble at the Waterfront in Homestead, PA, just a few miles from the Steel City. Together, we autographed my book, Dugout… Continue reading “It’s a New Day”
