Now let's try to get you at least a little familiar with the Nocturnauts' current hitting coach, Matt Wagoner. This may be a moderately long post, but hopefully it won't be too long, compared to the other introductory posts already posted in this thread, or which will be posted later, of course, folks. With no further ado, let's get started with introducing him to you all. Also, there will be pictures of the team's uniforms at the bottom of this post as well, for that matter, just so you know. Hope you get to being more interested in him as time passes here, as well.

Matt Wagoner was born on November 7, 1901 in San Bernardino, California to Stanley and the former Bethany Poole as their second son and third child. Most of his childhood was spent living in southern California, before Stanley's employer sent him east to head a new branch of the company in Missouri. By the time his ninth birthday rolled around, Matt was already in Missouri with the rest of his immediate family, living in Chesterfield. He then spent the rest of his childhood and his adolescence in the St. Louis area before being graduated from high school in 1920.

After high school, he went to college in Duluth, Minnesota, eventually meeting his future boss Garrett Salvador, among others he met while attending college at the University of Minnesota's Duluth campus. He met his future wife Manaba Wenona Kennard for the first time as well, but took a good deal of time building a relationship with her, first based on friendship, and then, when the road was sufficiently clear to do so, on true love. He asked her for her hand in mid-August 1931, and they ultimately participated in a four-couple wedding ceremony about a year later, more or less.

They soon settled temporarily in New Mexico, but eventually found themselves moving to Kentucky by the time the United States finally entered World War II on the side of the Allies. Seeing as he and his wife already had produced three children by that time, the government didn't call him for active-duty service in the Armed Forces of the United States. They instead allowed him to stay completely Stateside, and help the nation's overall war effort by keeping morale up better on the home front through coaching for civilian sports teams and doing assorted columns in various Kentucky-based newspapers.

When the war ended, Matt was soon hired by the recently-created Minnesota Nocturnauts as their first hitting coach. This will be his second season with them, but as of yet, he's not had much success in his time with them. He hopes that changes soon, of course, because he'd like to stay with the Nocturnauts for as long as he can, most definitely.

He lives with his wife and their now-four children (Anthony, Susan, Jocelyn, and Henry) in Duluth, not far from the Nocturnauts' home park. Anthony is now 12, Susan 9, Jocelyn 7, and Henry 3, as of early February 1947. Anthony and Susan are the most interested of his four children in sports, while Jocelyn and Henry don't yet seem to have any real interest in such things for themselves. He thinks Tony may potentially become a good baseball player in the future, but doesn't yet know whether he will or not, of course.

When not working or spending time with those close enough to him in his life, Matt can often be found trying to compose various pieces of music, mostly ones that are classical or jazz-style in their natures, with occasional influences from various cultures from all over the world. Or reading almost anything he can get his hands on well enough. He avoids horror stories or murder mysteries, for example, if and whenever he can. He is currently the best cook in the family, but Susan and Jocelyn are now seriously beginning to challenge his current status as such, even though they're both still quite young in their respective mortal lives.

Matt loves living in Minnesota, but he still hopes to do a good deal of traveling all over the world whenever he can in the future. For instance, he's never been anywhere in Africa or the Middle East. But he would really like to see the Pyramids of Egypt or travel down the Congo River later on in his life, if he possibly can, for sure.

Picture(s) and other information and all about and/or related sufficiently to him will be shown and/or shared as circumstances allow and warrant later on, I"m sure, folks. Lord willing and all, of course, that is. I think that this is enough information to share about him at this time, as well, for that matter.

The Minnesota Nocturnauts' uniforms that I made myself are below. Caps will be in the next post, which will most likely relate to the Nocturnauts' current scouting director Brian Akers. I'll try to have a profile up for him as soon as I can, of course. Until the next post, then, I'll close this. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Time to introduce you to the Nocturnauts' scouting director Brian Akers. Team caps at present will be at the bottom of this post as well. I'll try to make sure this post isn't too long here either, for sure.

Brian Akers was born on August 23, 1909 in Gadsden, Alabama as the only child of his parents Emmett and the former Zoe Wheeler, after many failed attempts to produce offspring for themselves over the first quarter-century or so of their married lives. When he was finally born to them, his parents were already in their early to middle fifties. They both wanted more biological children after him, but no such children followed him into the world from his parents. So they gave him basically all they could in his life while he grew up. However, they still raised him to be responsible for his actions when necessary, among any number of things they did as they could in direct relation to him in their lives, for sure.

They both lived long enough to see him finish college at the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, but still not long enough to see him married with children. He played college ball, but wasn't exactly the best player, so his playing career essentially ended in college. After college, he spent a few years helping coach semi-pro and company teams in Alabama, until the United States entered World War II.

He soon found himself fighting in Europe for a few years, before being wounded in combat fighting in France. With one arm seriously damaged in combat, and assorted other war-related injuries, he was given a full medical discharge by 1944, and sent home. In his off-duty hours, he'd also done a bit of baseball coaching of various soldiers whenever possible wherever they were based at a particular time during his wartime service.

He first found himself back in the Southeast once he returned Stateside. But eventually he found himself suddenly encountering Garrett Salvador. One thing led to another, and eventually Brian was hired as the first scouting director for the newly-created Minnesota Nocturnauts.

During an Independence Day celebration in 1946, Brian met someone who may eventually become his wife. However, he hasn't yet really been able to spend much time with Lindsey Hansen or her sisters Verna or Sharon. All three sisters are currently interested a great deal in him, but he hasn't decided yet which of the three he likes the most in his life.

He currently lives alone in a Duluth-area home with a still-young Doberman Pinscher rescued from the war and several small birds. He has just a few nearby neighbors and personal assistants to help him as needed, when needed, in his life. While there are certain physical limitations for him now in it, he still functions fairly well in other areas of his life, and his mind is generally sharp, whenever he's not remembering certain war experiences from his wartime service.

Picture(s) and other information will be shared later, as needed and all, of course. Next up, the profile for the Minnesota Nocturnauts' team trainer should be posted soon, I hope. Caps for the team so far are below as promised. That's all for now, I think. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Now for a profile related to Roger Cavero, the Minnesota Nocturnauts' current head team trainer. This profile should complete the profiles for the main personnel for the major league team, from the owner down to the team trainer, at least, I think. With no further ado, I will now introduce you at least a bit more here to Roger, folks.

Roger Cavero was born on February 1, 1892 in Azua, Dominican Republic to Pascual and the former Serena Luna as their oldest child of sixteen biological children, most named after various celestial bodies in the Solar System, ranging from the Sun out to Pluto, in truth, at least in part, if not totally. Some information about him has already been shared as parts of other people's profiles. So it will not be rehashed needlessly at the present time. However, certain information about him and his family has not yet been, so I will share it here, at least to a degree, if not totally.

Roger went to Gustavus Adolphus College to start studying medicine. After finishing his Bachelor of Sciences degree there majoring in Biology, he pursued a medical degree or two at the University of Pennsylvania, then at the University of London in England, for several years. And he explored other professional and/or financial opportunities, at least, while still doing so.

It wasn't too long after that Roger joined the International Red Cross, and he was part of them for many years, even after World War II finally broke out. He was attached to no nation's armed forces for the entire duration of the war, so he was never targeted for capture, killing, or extortion, especially because he never carried offensive weapons of any then-known sort during the war.

After World War II finally ended, he was offered a position by the Minnesota Nocturnauts as their first official head team trainer. He gladly accepted said offer. And as he prepares for the 1947 regular season to start for the Nocturnauts, he really hopes that nobody suffers any particularly major injuries anytime soon for anyone in the entire organization, of course.

He is now married to one of the one month-younger Jose Alvarado's younger sisters, specifically Jose's younger sister Marisol, who is slightly more than a decade Roger's junior, in truth, as of 1932. Roger and Marisol now have eleven children, with six being biological and five adopted. The adopted children were all orphaned at various times during the World War recently concluded, while their youngest biological child was born in November 1944. They are hoping to be able to adopt more children at some point, but that probably won't happen for at least a bit longer at present.

The family of thirteen now primarily lives near Brainerd during the offseasons and primarily near Ely during the season, especially in the summer. Roger spends a good deal of time away from home during the season, for obvious reasons. So he keeps a home away from home in a small apartment in downtown Duluth whenever he is away from his family for long enough times at a stretch. To make up for that, as best as he can, he writes long letters to his many family members whenever he can, and often includes as many pictures as he can with them whenever he can, at least. He doesn't just write in English or Spanish, either. He's been known to also write in Hebrew, Japanese, French, Italian, and German, at least, for sure. And possibly even in other publicly-known languages as well, but that isn't yet known by most others in his own life.

In his remaining free time, he often reads anything and everything he can, unless it's primarily war-related, horror, or otherwise unsuitable for reading in his own eyes at a particular time. Or he listens to nature-related sounds, among others, whenever he can for a long enough time at a stretch. Or at least whenever he's not with his family, that is.

Whenever he is, however, he doesn't try to stay away from his wife and children at all, if he doesn't absolutely have to at a particular time. Many hours with them are quite often spent hiking, fishing, camping, boating, skiing, and riding horses, whenever possible for him at all.

Many discussions of numerous topics are often conducted, as well, whenever Roger is somehow able to be with his family for a long enough time during the whole year. Especially during the offseasons, for sure.

Picture(s) and other information about him and his family will be shared later, if and whenever possible and all, most likely. No logos yet for this team, unfortunately, though, so I can't actually share them here yet, of course.

Next post should have a few more screenshots related to the Nocturnauts' entire organization, and then I'll probably move to the next team here, in very short order. I believe that will be the Missouri Show-Mes, so expect a good deal more information about them later, if so. That's all for now, I think, then, folks. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

A few screenshots to finish my introduction to you of the Minnesota Nocturnauts' entire organization, as of the current time. More information will be shared about them at later times, if and whenever possible, I'm sure.

Missouri's Missouri Show-Mes is the next team from the ABRS that I'll have to introduce you all to here, it seems. It is currently run by a human GM/Manager with my paternal grandfather's name. I will be fictionalizing certain details related to real people in my family and certain others I'm at least a little aware of, either from knowing about them or knowing them personally, at one time, if not currently, to reflect the various differences in this dynasty's world from our real-world one, et cetera. So please keep that in mind, as well, here, folks. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

The people from the Missouri Show-Mes organization I will cover in the next several profiles will be the following people, as I'd envision each of them in this dynasty's world. When it comes to the human General Manager/Manager for them, I will fictionalize certain details about him and certain people close to him, or related to him, as I see fit, for various reasons. And the details of certain events in his life, et cetera, may not match up with how certain things actually went in his real life in our world. Especially when it comes to real people and real events from it.

Owner - Freddy Ruiz
General Manager/Manager - Robert Kenneth Follis (A considerable amount will be fictionalized related to him and/or certain others, for various reasons) [One of my Human General Managers/Managers for this dynasty at present]
Assistant General Manager - Joe Cihla
Bench Coach - Bill Duran
Pitching Coach - Dustin Comfort
Hitting Coach - Jason Bishop
Scouting Director - Jose Luna
Team Trainer - Adam Palmquist

Minor League Teams:

Chandler Chanticleers (AAA)
Saint-Eustache Trail Blazers (AA)
Chula Vista Brawlers (A)

After I get done posting Adam Palmquist's profile I will share basic screenshots related to the Show-Mes organization as I have already done for a few teams here, at least, if I don't show anything else sufficiently related to it at or around that time. Then I will begin to introduce you all to the New Orleans Bayous organization. I hope that once I start with New Orleans's organization, you will like what you see related to them a good deal, Eugene, of course.

Next post should have Freddy Ruiz's profile in it, l think, so please stay tuned. I may be busy with a number of things today, including trying to write more of my latest story, even with today being the seventh anniversary of the Homegoing of one of my brothers. I miss him being physically near me in bodily form, of course, but He is Home with the Lord forever, and nothing bad has happened to him since his sudden death. I hope to see him again in Paradise someday, when MY time on this planet is over, whether through death or translation, for sure.

I am crying a bit as I write this post, but I am so glad that he hasn't been able to be hurt or otherwise harmed since he left this world seven years ago all of a sudden. And he hasn't suffered from autism or had to deal with a broken body, et cetera, ever since he went to be with the Lord so long ago. That has been, and continues to be, and will continue to be, a great comfort to me, even without him near me physically in a bodily form. Lord willing, I WILL see him again someday, somehow, and what a day that will be when we will never have to be parted from each other ever again for all eternity, if so.

Thank you for your time and all here, folks. Even on this always-bittersweet day for me and probably any number of others I've known or do know in my and/or their lives, of course. I don't know just when I'll be starting to post profiles for the people listed above, just yet, for I'm still working hard on my story, and/or will be, among other things that I'll likely have to do today, I'm sure. But I'll try to get each of them posted here as soon as I can, I promise, even with all that being the case for me here and now.

Will certainly write much more later, if and when possible and appropriate and all. Lord willing, no doubt, of course, that is. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Time to introduce you to the current owner of the Missouri Show-Mes in the American Baseball Refuge Society's collection of teams, I think, folks. We will probably see a good deal related to him in this thread as long as that status remains the case here, as well. I'll try to keep this particular post as brief as I can, though. And let future posts help flesh him out a good deal better, if possible. With no further ado, then, here's the current profile of Freddy Ruiz, as best as I can share it with you at this point in time.

Freddy Ruiz was born on July 23, 1887 in San Cristobal, Dominican Republic to Mateo and the former Tatiana Chevrolet as their first son of five and their second child of ten biological children born between 1884 and 1903. While growing up in the Dominican Republic, he didn't generally get along all that well with many of the people he knew growing up there, whether they were members of his family or not, for numerous reasons. Once he finished his formal education not long before the breaking out of World War I, he soon found himself eventually coming to the United States.

He first found himself in Florida. But not liking it much there because of the usual weather there, mainly, he soon went elsewhere in the United States for nearly a dozen or so years, searching for somewhere he could feel more at home in his life than he'd ever felt before. In the course of his wanderings, he eventually found himself in Missouri, and then explored much of Missouri, before finally settling in Callaway County near Fulton, Columbia, and Jefferson City.

He now has assorted business connections all over the American Midwest, but especially in Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, and Oklahoma. He isn't easy to please, and doesn't make friends easily. He also has a bit of a temper, and is often quite impatient to a rather considerable degree. Not only that, he has not had much, if any, real success with women, for various reasons. He has been interested in them over the years, but has never been able to actually get married to any, which has often made his moods worse at times in his life, for sure.

Seeing as he thinks it quite unlikely at this point that he'll ever be able to be a husband and father in his life, he desperately wants to see success for his still-new baseball team come as much as possible in the future. Whether he'll be able to see a lot of it later remains to be seen, of course.

He lives alone near Fulton. When not working, watching sports contests, or attending church, he spends most of his free time reading numerous books in English, Spanish, and French, or writing assorted poems, for example. Picture(s) and certain other information related to him, at least, will be shared later as possible and all, of course.

The next personal profile I'll share here in this thread will be the one for the Show-Mes' current human GM/Manager Robert Kenneth Follis. Although much of it will definitely be fictionalized, as will certain related details about those close to him or me, for example, or certain life-related events, for various reasons, of course. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here's the profile as it now stands for the Show-Mes' current General Manager/Manager Robert Kenneth Follis. Much of it will be fictionalized, for various reasons, including personal privacy concerns, but there will be some actual facts mixed in from time to time, as I see fit and all here, and in the future, if this thread and the related dynasty here both somehow last long enough. Lord willing, of course.

There actually was someone by that real name in our own real world, but the Robert Kenneth Follis in THIS dynasty's world will be at least a bit different, if not a lot different, from the one who lived in OUR own real world's history. You might want to all keep that in mind here as best as you can, folks, I think. With no further ado, then, let's meet the Missouri Show-Mes' first and current General Manager/Manager, as best as we can here.

Robert Kenneth Follis was born on October 26, 1912 in Wayne, Illinois to Thomas Webster and the former Viola Jane Marledorum, as the eldest child and only son of his parents. Much of his early life was spent in the Midwest, and especially in Kansas. He grew up loved by his parents, and had several friends, but many of his childhood and/or adolescent life experiences are unknown at present.

He has been a fan of and interested in baseball for much of his life. Even as a halfway decent baseball player as a left-handed pitcher, at least. If it hadn't been for World War II and certain other things, he might have pursued a potential playing career for a living. But by the time the United States finally entered World War II, he was already part of the Army Air Corps and married.

While no children had yet been born to him and his wife Florence by that time, they were both still hoping to have children together in the near future. The Army Air Corps decided to keep him Stateside for the duration of the war, and within five or so years of their marriage, they had two children, one a boy, and one a girl. They now make their main off-season home out in Kansas, while their main in-season home is in Chesterfield, Missouri.

After the war ended, he soon encountered the owner of the newly-created Missouri Show-Mes professional baseball team for the American Baseball Refuge Society. It took a bit of negotiation about the terms of employment as the Show-Mes' first General Manager and Manager, but eventually Robert Kenneth accepted Freddy Ruiz's offer to run the Show-Mes' organization as such.

Robert Kenneth is a very good shooter of firearms in his spare time, whenever he gets a chance to shoot guns. He doesn't drink or smoke, and his idea of a great time often includes spending time with family whenever possible, among any number of things that he's usually interested in as he lives his life.

Picture(s) and certain other sufficiently relevant information about him and/or certain other people/events will be shared later as possible and all. However, much of it will definitely be fictionalized, to at least some degree, if not a great degree, for various reasons, including privacy reasons, of course. In reality, my paternal grandfather died in 1948. I have not yet decided his fate here yet, though. CD out.

P.S. The next profile will be for Joe Cihla, the current Assistant General Manager for the Missouri Show-Mes. I will try to have his profile, at least, up by the end of this week, if I can. It may take some time before it and/or certain other profiles are posted here, though, of course. Please stay tuned, as you like and can, folks. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Time to introduce you to the Missouri Show-Mes' current Assistant General Manager Joe Cihla. I'll try to keep it as brief as possible, in terms of his current profile, but please bear with me at least a little, if it might be a bit too long for your tastes here, folks. With no further ado, then, here's what I have come up with so far for his profile.

Joe Cihla was born on November 6, 1894 in Las Vegas, Nevada to Adrian and the Ruifrapso Sokumi-born former Loriya Celethe as their seventh son and eighth biological child, when his parents were in their forties. There are five boys among his nine younger siblings, as well, in his family, the last being born when his parents were then in their early sixties. His family has become fairly well-known for having many of its members live into at least their eighties and nineties, and a few even past 100 years of age, at times, within the last century or so. His parents are still alive, being in their middle to late nineties, but are now beginning to physically decline health-wise, even as they still live with him and his family.

He spent much of his childhood and adolescence living with his family out in the Western United States, before college, but not all of it, for every few summers, he would spend time outside the United States visiting various relatives all over the world, but especially in Ruifrapso Sokumi and other nearby nations to it. When he went to college after finishing high school in 1913, he found himself in Missouri. Years later, he met Freddy Ruiz for the first time. While nothing too special happened between them both, other than meeting each other for the first time, they had then begun a long-lasting association with each other without them yet knowing that for sure in their lives.

Years later, after the end of World War II, Ruiz remembered Cihla, and offered the just-retired Army Colonel a job as the first Assistant General Manager in the Missouri Show-Mes' franchise history. The offer made pleased Joe sufficiently, so it was soon accepted, and Joe moved his family to the Sedalia area of Missouri soon afterwards.

Joe and his wife, the former Helena Ford, now live near Sedalia with his parents and their five, but soon-to-be nine, children. Two more biological children are on the way, and two war orphans are still in the process of being adopted. In total, they have three biological and two adopted children at present. In his spare time, Joe often spends time cooking or listening to assorted music, most of which is patriotic, classical, or gospel music, but not necessarily limited to such music.

Picture(s) and/or more information about or related to him and/or others will be shared later as possible and all, I'm sure, Lord willing. The next person whose profile will be posted will most likely be Bill Duran, the current bench coach for the Show-Mes here. Please wait for it, and I'll try to have it posted up here as soon as I can, as best as I can, folks.

Until the next post, then, please try and take real good care of yourselves as best as you each can, I hope, everyone. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Okay, it's time to introduce you all to Bill Duran, the current bench coach for the Missouri Show-Mes, it seems, folks, at least as things now stand for him and/or certain others around him here. I'll try not to make this post too longer here, of course. But please bear with me, just the same, if it's still a bit too long for your tastes here, okay? With no further ado, then, let's get to know him at least a little bit here, as best as we can.

Bill Duran was born on July 18, 1910 in Strawberry, California to Herschel and the former Myrna Simpson as their third son and fourth child. He is the youngest of all his parents' children only because they could not have any more children together for certain health-related reasons, mainly, much to their mutual disappointment.

Growing up as the son of a mechanic and a hospital cook, along with his two older brothers and his older twin sister Mabel, he was an above-average student in most of his classes. Except for classes like chemistry, physics, and most advanced mathematics classes such as calculus, for example, that is. Sports-related activities such as baseball and football were activities he often did well in. At least while he was still able to play them well enough on a regular enough basis in his life, from about ten years of age to about 1943 or 1944, more or less, when he eventually found himself getting hurt much too often, and missing too much potential playing time for various company-run teams due to those injuries of his.

Ultimately realizing this, he soon began looking for something he could do from then on so that he'd hopefully be better able to provide for himself and his family of five from then on in his and their lives of course. It wasn't long before Freddy Ruiz encountered him during a business trip out west to California. One thing eventually led to other things happening then to him and certain others, including Bill's eventual hiring as the Show-Mes' first-ever bench coach.

He and his wife Adele now live with their three children on a moderately-sized farm near Mexico, Missouri. They mainly raise geese, ducks, and a few cows and bulls on their farm, whenever they can in their lives, on a 40-acre farm. Two of his and Adele's children are still too young, however, to do much work on it, so he and Adele have paid workers to help out whenever necessary, for sure.

Picture(s) and certain other information will be shared later as possible and all in the future, most definitely, Lord willing. The next profile to be shared here will most likely be the one for the Show-Mes' pitching coach, one Dustin Comfort. Please wait for it to be posted soon, if possible. Thanks. That's all for now, then, everyone. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here's the character profile for the Missouri Show-Mes' current pitching coach. It may be a bit long, but there's a good deal of information here, nevertheless, about him here. With no further ado, then, let's try and get to know Dustin Comfort at least a little bit here, if we can, folks.

Dustin Comfort was born on June 29, 1886 to Hector and the former Nagukiyo Hiratogai, the daughter of a Yakuza crime lord married against her will at 16 to the 19-year-old son of a Chicago crime lord, as their eldest child within a year of their marriage. He grew up in a family of criminals, and hated that a great deal.

His childhood and adolescent years were very difficult for him and his siblings, whether they were full-blood or half-blood siblings. When he finally was old enough, he got out of where he'd been, and took not only his mother, but as many of his siblings as he could, out of the dangerous circumstances they'd been in as best as he could at the first chance he got to do so. However, others were still trapped in them, so he resolved to get as many of them out as he could, as often as he could, in the future. Unfortunately, he ultimately couldn't rescue everyone he'd been close to in time, either before they became criminals or certain bad things happened to them and/or those connected to them. He still hates that to the present time, for sure.

Baseball and his studies provided a means of escape for him from a possible shortened life, and he thanks God constantly that He helped him escape from a dead-end life. Because of his time amongst criminals and others, though, he has a real desire to help free as many people from such circumstances as much as he can, no matter where they are in the world, and no matter who they are. Especially the young children, and most especially the young girls.

He and his wife, the former Belinda Schmidt, now help house 1,200 children ranging in ages from infancy to late adolescence in several places all over Missouri, along with any number of related adults, using money periodically earned, donated, and seized from criminal organizations from all over the world. Even as they also raise twenty children of their own, with all but six of them being adopted, in Boonville, not too far west from Columbia.

He has a full life, even as the Show-Mes' pitching coach, and looks forwards to seeing the end of all evil someday, although he realizes he still won't likely see it in this life. Much of his free time is spent teaching the young children he's in regular contact with what they weren't likely taught before they were rescued from the difficult situations they were each in, where and when possible and all, for instance.

Picture(s) and certain other information will be shared later as possible and all in the future, most definitely, Lord willing. The next profile likely to be shared here will most likely be the one for the Show-Mes' hitting coach, Jason Bishop. Please stay tuned for it, and I'll try to have it up as soon as I can, for sure. That is all for now, I think, folks. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here's the character profile as it now stands for the Missouri Show-Mes' current hitting coach, Jason Bishop. Hopefully it's not too long here, but if it is, then so be it. With no further ado, then, let's start getting to know more about him, as best as we can and all.

Jason Bishop was born on November 13, 1904 in New York City, New York to Robin and the former Lerda Welespia Hauber as their third son and fifth child. His parents were a college professor and a journalist at the time of his birth in the Manhattan borough of New York City, for Columbia University and The New York Times, respectively. He grew up primarily in a family of scholars, writers, artists, and musicians. But he wasn't exactly the best student, for instance, because he was more interested in other things or other people, such as baseball, than in studying, books, art, or music, among other things, in his life. He liked spending time with young women. But for various reasons, he couldn't find one of them to hold his serious interest enough for more than a few months at most, on average, until he was in college at the University of Oklahoma around 1925 or so. He went through many relationships with girls and women like many went through new cars, for instance.

Once he met the Yunibaasaru Kataribe-born Saivio Soutyand and a number of her close friends, however, he soon began to understand what true love really was, and not what he'd thought it was for many years. Ultimately, he never married Saivio, but ended up with her several years-younger second cousin Cailana Lanttosh instead, by the time he was thirty. He and Cailana are now happily married since 1935 with three children already born and four more already on the way, but they don't yet know she's already carrying quadruplets since late January 1947.

He spent about ten or so years playing baseball for a few amateur teams after college while also working as a manual laborer on assorted construction projects for various people or companies. It was while doing so that he met his future boss Freddy Ruiz for the first time.

Years later, not long after the end of the war, Ruiz was looking for a hitting coach the Show-Mes could hire, and certain people already in the organization recommended Bishop for that position. A few interviews later, and an acceptable offer later, Jason became the Missouri Show-Mes' first official hitting coach in their franchise history. He hopes to eventually turn the organization's batters into well-hitting ones in the near future, if at all possible, of course.

He now lives with his family near California, Missouri during the regular season, and near Joplin and Neosho during the offseason. Much of his free time is spent hunting, fishing, and working on cars and planes, for instance, whenever not working or spending time with friends, family or various associates of his in his life. He often keeps to himself a good deal, whenever he can.

Picture(s) and certain other information about or related to him and/or those close enough to him in his life will be shared later as possible and all, I'm sure. The next profile to be shared here will most likely be the Scouting Director Jose Luna's profile, at some point. Please wait for it, folks. Team uniforms are likely to be included in the next post as well. Thank you for your time and all. That's all for now, I think, then. CD out.

Next up, the profile for the Missouri Show-Mes' Scouting Director, Jose Luna, along with the current uniforms for this team at the end of this post. With no further ado, then, let's see if we can't start to get to know Jose Luna here at least a little bit for now.

Jose Luna was born on November 8, 1898 in Cambridge, Maryland to Fernando and the former Branwen Gwynes as their eldest child of nine within five years of their arranged involuntary marriage at the ages of 14 and 13, respectively, for both his parents. He is distantly related to Roger Cavero's mother Serena Luna, but neither he nor Serena's family is yet aware of that fact well enough, if they'll ever be, somehow. His younger siblings include six girls, with his two younger brothers being the fifth and seventh in line for his parents' children. He and his siblings all grew up the children of a sailor and a dressmaker, and often found themselves living in various places all over the world until shortly after the end of World War I, after which Fernando retired from the United States Navy as a Chief Petty Officer. Retiring from the Navy in 1919, his father then based their family in the Louisville area of Kentucky.

By that time, however, Jose had already found his way to Idaho for college. After college, Jose decided to just explore the rest of the contiguous United States, to see if he could find a good place to spend the rest of his life living in, if at all possible.

It was while he was still doing so, that he not only met his future boss for the first time, but his future wife, one Amanda Page, a native of Canada, with parents from Scotland and what would later become part of the future nation of Israel sometime yet in the future. It took him a few years of considerable effort and friendship, though, to finally win her hand in marriage, before they ultimately married in 1928.

Years later, after having avoided active military service for age-related and certain other valid reasons, Freddy Ruiz eventually hired him as the Show-Mes' first official Scouting Director. While he can no longer move quite like he could when he was prior to the outbreak of World War II, for various reasons yet to be mentioned, his sharp eye for talent is still present to at least some degree, as is his mind, in any case. He has several scouts under him to do all the legwork that he generally isn't able to do for various reasons, as a result.

He now lives in downtown Columbia near the team's home park with Amanda and their last two of five children, the other three having already grown up and moved away to live their own mortal lives as they each saw fit. One girl and one boy still live at home with him and Amanda at the present time, but the girl is about two years away from finishing high school, and the boy is about five years away from doing the same himself.

When not working and/or spending time with those close enough to him in his life. he spends a lot of time with reading his Bible, meditating on its contents or on theology-related matters, or occupies his time with either reading whatever he can or writing whenever and whatever he can, with the Lord's leading, as much as he can. When he travels, either for work, or even for pleasure, he never travels alone, for various reasons, however.

Picture(s) and certain information will be shared later as possible and all. Current team uniforms are shown below. Caps for the Show-Mes will likely be included in the next post related to Adam Palmquist and his character profile later, I think. Please watch for that profile and those caps to be posted here as soon as possible. Thank you all for your time and attention here, folks. That's all for now, then, I think. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Okay, its time to introduce you all to Adam Palmquist, it seems, the Missouri Show-Mes' head team trainer. I'll try to keep this as brief as possible, of course, but it may still be a bit too long for some of your tastes, somehow, I suppose. With no further ado, let's start getting to know at least a bit about him here, if we can, as best as we can.

Adam Palmquist was born December 19, 1911 in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin to Horatio and the former Juliet Cranmer as their fifth of seven sons, and ninth of thirteen children. His four older brothers had already died due to various causes. Most before they were even three or four years of age, as had two of his older sisters, for similar reasons as his older brothers had, prior to his own birth. When he was born, two of his older sisters still remained alive of the four that had been born already. So he never knew six out of his eight older siblings personally, growing up with his parents and six surviving siblings.

He is the eldest of his parents' three surviving sons, and the healthiest of those sons, plus the longest-lived one of all their sons. His two younger brothers are a bit less healthy than he is, but not by much, at least physically. While they may not be as healthy as him physically, they're about as intelligetn as him, although they don't typically say much in their lives, compared to him in is. As for his surviving sisters, two are married with children of their own, one is now engaged, and the other is single and has health and social issues of her own that have made her life at least a bit more challenging for her to live in this world, in certain ways.

After high school was over for him in 1930, Adam decided to pursue a medical career for a living, in hopes that he could help develop possible treatments and/or cures for the conditions that likely might have led to the premature deaths of half his siblings that had already died prior to his birth. He spent about ten years getting his medicine-related degrees and certifications starting at the University of Michigan, then Purdue University, before earning his doctorate from the University of Missouri's Columbia campus. After the United States entered World War II, the federal government briefly considered drafting him for wartime service as a medical doctor. But once they realized his current familial situation sufficiently well, they permanently exempted him from any such government service.

Besides, by the time that was even briefly considered at all, he was already married and fortunately even had two perfectly healthy children to raise in his life. Not only that, he was the primary supporter financially of his parents and his unattached siblings who didn't have steady jobs of their own in their lives. His parents were both largely retired from their professional careers by 1946, in truth.

It was while he was working at the hospital for the University of Missouri's Columbia campus that he happened to first meet Freddy Ruiz in his life. After a few more encounters between the two men had happened, some interviews between them both were soon conducted, and Adam was hired to be the chief team trainer for the Show-Mes, in any case.

Much of his time is spent attending to the needs of the many players currently in the organization with a still-growing medical department of personnel and supplies for it. But he periodically is able to take time away whenever needed to take care of his family members who need medical assistance from him as well at times, per the terms of his contract with the Show-Mes.

Picture(s) and certain other information will be shared later as possible and all, I'm sure. Caps are below, but I still don't have any logos for this team here, unfortunately. The next post should hopefully allow the wrapping-up of our introductions for those in the Show-Mes' organization, I think. After I wrap things up in terms of introducing the Show-Mes organization to you all, the New Orleans Bayous should be the next franchise scheduled to be introduced here in this thread, if I'm not too mistaken here. Thank you all for your time and attention here so far, for sure, folks. That's all for now, then. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here are the promised screenshots to hopefully be able to finish the current introductory process for the Missouri Show-Mes organization, at least for now, everyone. The New Orleans Bayous organization will be the fifth of the likely 78 main teams in this particular dynasty that I will likely introduce you all here to at least some degree, if my math is correct at the present time. It may not be as in-depth of an introduction as the one for the Show-Mes organization has been so far, because of the fact that Missouri has a human GM/Manager person here, of course, but hopefully it will suffice here well enough for those of you from that part of the United States and all.

That's all for now, I think, then, folks. Here are some screenshots related to the Missouri Show-Mes organization, but I still don't have any team logos for them yet at all, unfortunately. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

For the New Orleans Bayous organization, at least the following people will have profiles posted for them, as necessary and all, if not others as well. I will also list their current minor league affiliates too, while I'm at it, after I have posted the last profile for the necessary people here as well, I'm sure, if possible and all, Lord willing:

Owner - Joe Waldrip
General Manager - Casey Pinto
Manager - Bobby Quaintance
Bench Coach - Art Williams
Pitching Coach - Jesse Charron
Hitting Coach - Miguel Castaneda
Scouting Director - Dustin Trahan
Team Trainer - Jonathan Gutierrez

Minor League Teams:

Pittsfield Nuggets (AAA)
Acton Blue Sox (AA)
Riverdale Ghostriders (A)

Uniforms and caps that I've already made for the Bayous are quite likely to be posted here at some point while still introducing the Bayous. I'm currently using at least one generic logo for them, but at some later point, I may want to request certain logos, folks, just so you know. That may not happen for a while, though, while I still am working on my latest story, to be honest.

Thank you all very much for all your time and attention and all here, most definitely. I hope to do sufficient justice in my introducing of the Bayous here at least for now, as well, of course. Especially for those of you who may want to follow them later on. That's all for now, I think, though. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here's the profile for the New Orleans Bayous' official owner. It may be a bit longer than most personnel profiles are here on average, mind you, but if it is, then so be it. With no further ado, then, here's the profile as it stands for Joe Waldrip, the owner of the Bayous professional baseball franchise for the American Baseball Refuge Society.

Joe Waldrip was born on May 10, 1891 in Devon-Berwyn, Pennsylvania to Abel and the former Rova Zuzoga, a native of Ruifrapso Sokumi, as their second son and third child of five. He has an older sister named Byara and a younger sister Relumu, along with an older twin brother Colin and a younger brother Xavier. He spent the first five or so years of his life living in and around Philadelphia, more or less, even while his athlete father periodically participated in assorted sports competitions in various places all over the world, whenever and wherever he could.

He doesn't have a very good relationship with his older twin brother, and never really has gotten along with him at all, in truth, all their lives. Chances are very slim to none that will ever change somehow, it seems to him. In essence, they've been great rivals of each other their whole lives, in relation to many people and/or things in them. Not only scholastically, but also socially, financially, and in matters of the heart, for instance.

After finishing high school near Baton Rouge, Joe went to college in New Orleans at the University of New Orleans, hoping to get away from Colin as much as he could. Colin went to Tulane, but still frequently sought to make life much more difficult for Joe, if he could, in whatever ways possible, even when it came to matters of the heart.

He gets along fairly well with his other siblings and his parents, but not with Colin at all, normally. He suspects, but doesn't know for sure, that Colin is somehow involved in certain criminal activities all over the world. But if so, he doesn't know for sure yet just what kinds of such activities they may be.

Joe thought for a while about perhaps going into police work for a possible living, but couldn't really cut it with his criminal justice studies or his shooting ability. So he ultimately decided to pursue a career primarily as a businessman in the shipping and construction industries, with a few other legitimate businesses on the side, for his and his family's livelihood.

By the time the United States entered World War I, he was already married to the former Aurora Selvorg, and their son Jared had been born a few weeks earlier. So he was not draftable for any potential wartime service in the Armed Forces. Priscilla joined their family in 1921, eventually followed by Enoch, Lois, Eunice, Solomon, Nathaniel, and Abigail, with Abigail being the last born to Joe and Aurora in 1942, when he was 51 and Aurora 50. They do not expect to have any more biological children, however, and their last three were quite unexpected before they were known of well enough, for sure.

Joe is not often a very patient person, so it is often hard for people to keep him happy in relation to certain things in his life. While he technically owns the Bayous, his wife and certain other family members typically conduct much of the day-to-day business for the Bayous organization, generally speaking, but not all of it. He's not a very sociable man, in many cases, either, so he isn't often seen at most social functions in and around the New Orleans area of Louisiana.

When not working or doing other things, he can often be found fishing, listening to jazz, folk, or country music, or creating items or clothing for various theatrical productions, for instance. He also is known to watch the skies at night quite often when the weather and his current life circumstances permit him to sufficiently well. He and Aurora live in New Orleans with their list three children, the other five already having moved out and begun lives of their own. Solomon at 13, just past his birthday, is the oldest of them still living at home.

Picture(s) and certain other information about him and/or others close enough to him in his life will be shared later as possible and all, I'm sure. The next member of the Bayous' organization to have a profile posted for them will most likely be the Bayous' current General Manager Casey Pinto. Please watch for it, folks. I'll try to have it up here as soon as I can, of course. Thank you for your time and all, as well. That's all for now, I think. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

It's time to introduce you all to Casey Pinto, the Bayous' current General Manager. His character profile now may be a bit longer on average than many of the ones that are already or will eventually be posted in this thread. But if so, then so be it, of course, folks. With no further ado, then, I will begin to introduce you all to Casey Pinto here.

Casey Pinto was born on November 12, 1909 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to Edgar and the former Myra MacLeod as their only child. He grew up the son of a steel mill worker and a teacher who also were private detectives with police officers aplenty in their respective families. Meaning he was very well-acquainted with mysteries and law enforcement officials from a very young age, by the time he became a teenager.

His parents' work kept them both quite busy, but they still both spent as much of their free time with him as they could, and he generally appreciated that a great deal growing up in eastern Pennsylvania. He was a good, but not great, student while growing up, however. Not for lack of trying, but certain subjects like home economics, for instance, were often difficult for him due to lack of aptitude, for sure.

After high school, he went to Temple in pursuit of a business degree. While at Temple from 1928 to 1932, he eventually met his future wife, the former Sylvia Garrun. It was a whirlwind, but still not easy to achieve the desired results quickly, courtship for the couple, prior to their marriage in 1931. Sylvia had been hard to win the hand of for Casey, due to the competition for her hand and heart, and for other reasons as well. Eventually Sylvia was fed up with certain others triyng to dictate the course of her life to her, and gave an ultimatum to certain people, while also saying either they let her choose her future husband and all, or they'd never see her again if and whenever she possibly could prevent them from doing so. Furthermore, she said if she couldn't marry Casey, she'd never marry. They ultimately backed off, and never tested her patience again about certain matters related to her if they didn't absolutely have to.

Eventually, Casey and Sylvia moved with their then-three children to the New Orleans area of Louisiana, and found themselves encountering the Waldrip family led by Joe and Aurora. The two families became fairly close over the next several years, at least. And not long after the New Orleans Bayous professional baseball franchise was created, Casey was hired as its first historical General Manager, while still in his thirties.

Casey and Sylvia now llive just outside New Orleans' city limits with their children Emily, Trinity, Melanie, Lincoln, and Alexander. Triplets are on the way, but they don't know that yet. They know at least one child has been conceived, but don't know about the others yet, in any case. If they have at least one boy, they have ideas for possible names, but they don't have any girl names picked out yet. They're hoping for a boy, but expecting a girl, because a lot of girls have been commonly born in Sylvia's family in the past.

When not working, or spending time with close friends, family members, and/or associates, Casey spends a good deal of time camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, and boating. Or reading assorted novels, especially ones written in French, German, Italian, and Dutch, at least. He also reads the Bible daily almost immediately after he gets up in the morning, as well, without fail. And meditates constantly on whatever he reads from the time he gets up in the morning until he goes to bed every single night, no matter what. Even while attending to the needs that are present for him and/or others on each day of his life, whether big or small, for that matter.

He hopes to help others make the Bayous a real powerhouse for many years yet to come, but the upcoming season will only be his second overall season as a General Manager in his front office career, at least in terms of running part of a pro sports franchise. He hopes Joe gives him enough time to help build the Bayous into a great team in the future, of course.

Picture(s) and certain other information about him and/or others close to him in his life will be shared later as possible and all, I'm sure. Bobby Quaintance's profile is most likely the next personnel-related profile I'll share here in this thread. It should hopefully be posted very soon, I think. Please watch for it and all, then, everyone, as you like and can. That's all for now, it seems. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

It's time to introduce you all to Bobby Quaintance, the Bayous' current Manager. I don't know how important he'll be yet in the progress of this dynasty's history and all, of course, but here's his profile as it currently stands for him, in any case, folks. With no further ado, then, let's see if we can't get to know him at least a bit here, as best as we can and all.

Bobby Quaintance was born on June 9, 1906 in Beloit, Wisconsin to Philip and the former Amelia Parkinson as their seventh son and thirteenth child. He was also born as their last biological child, as well. His parents were dairy farmers at the time of his birth when they were then in their middle forties, with two sets of twins, and one of triplets, by that time. His oldest sibling was within a year of their high school graduation when he was ultimately born.

Nearly eighteen years later, more or less, Bobby finished high school himself in Beloit. The day after his high school graduation, he left home to make his way in the world. He took a couple of years off to see if he could make it as some sort of athlete, and played amateur baseball periodically during that time when he wasn't working on farms of all kinds primarily in the Midwestern and Southeastern United States.

While doing so, he encountered several young women every so often, including his future wife Sheila Daniels, who ultimately convinced him to go to Louisiana State University for a law degree, with minors in economics and sports administration. He played moderately well on the college team as an infielder, primarily as a shortstop. Ultimately, his typically rather hard-nosed style of play led to him getting several significant enough injuries that eventually forced his active playing career to essentially end by the time he was 33. Or at least for the most part, anyway, they did.

Sheila and he married in 1937, before settling in the New Orleans area and beginning to raise a family there. They had their first child, an unexpected son, in March 1940, their next in August 1943, and their third in December 1946. They now have one son and two daughters, with them being in order Moses, Teresa, and Alice. They would like to have another son, but not for at least another year or two, if possible, to even things out in terms of children.

Bobby first met Joe Waldrip while he played baseball at Louisiana State University. Not long after that, they began to periodically correspond with each other, mostly through letters and telegrams, for instance.

Once the New Orleans Bayous franchise was created, Joe offered Bobby a job with the organization as the first field manager in Bayous franchise history for the major league club. Bobby didn't take the first few job offers, for various reasons, but eventually he and Joe came to acceptable terms of employment for him to serve as that for the Bayous.

While his first year with the Bayous wasn't all that great, he hopes to be with them for quite some time in the future, if he can be, of course. Although he also realizes it may still take some time to build the Bayous up properly, for sure.

Picture(s) and certain other information will be shared later as possible and all, I'm sure. The next profile that's most likely to be shared here is the one for Art Williams, the Bayous' current Bench Coach. Please watch for it to be posted soon, if possible. Thank you. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Time to introduce you all to Art Williams, the Bayous' current bench coach. I have a good deal of information to share about him at present, so this may be a longer profile currently than most others already in this thread or which will likely be added to this thread sometime later. So without further ado, then, here is his profile as it now stands for him in his life.

Art Williams was born on February 15, 1897 in Rocky River, Ohio to Henry (Hank) and the former Rose Wynston, the twin sister of Beatrice, as their eldest son and child of seven. He grew up in a family with a lot of loud people, basically, and arguments were quite common. Most especially when his parents were in bad moods and/or his father was illegally hitting the booze outside of certain church-related situations. While Henry never beat his wife or children when angry and/or drunk, he was quite often very difficult to deal with for them and/or others.

He grew up in a family where money was not often easy to earn, or where it had to often be spent more than saved for later times, for various reasons. So it was quite frequently the case that he and his entire immediate family would have to move from one place to another in their lives, for various reasons. He and his family must have moved at least five to ten times between his birth and the end of his time in high school when he was 19, by his own estimation and recollection, never spending more than about four years in a place before ultimately having to move again in their lives.

Growing up in such a family meant that it was very difficult for Art and many others in his family to make and have fairly close friends in their lives, if not impossible. Which probably led to much more conflict between various members of the family at certain times as well.

It took at least a few years of military service in the Marines during World War I and the following years to help lead Art mature more as a young adult and a man to begin to come to peace with his childhood and adolescent experiences. But those experiences still periodically cause trouble for him and/or others in his life. His father may be gone now, but he still has nightmares at times when certain experiences related to Henry come to his mind well enough.

He doesn't drink or smoke, and he tries to avoid those who do as much as he possibly can. But it's not always easy to do for him, especially seeing as one of his siblings often does both, unfortunately.

While still in the Marines, he met his future wife, the former Giovanni Lancia, when he was stationed in Rome as an embassy guard there. One thing eventually led to another, and once he was honorably discharged from the Marines in 1925, he and Giovanni soon married and moved to Florida together. Ten years and three children later, after eight years of college in Florida and Mississippi, they eventually ended up living in the New Orleans area of Louisiana. A few more children came their way before Art finally met Joe Waldrip for the first time at an unavoidable social function in the local area.

Years later, after the end of World War II, Joe hired Art as the Bayous' first ever bench coach. At present, they seem to not be all that hostile to each other, and their wives seem to like each other too at least a little, as well. But they still don't have a close working relationship with each other, in any case.

Art lives not far from the Bayous' home park with Giovanni and all but two of their six children, for their two oldest children are now in Oregon and Montana, respectively. His life is apparently improving, but he still has times where his temper flares quite considerably, both on and off the field, in his life, to to be sure.

In his spare time, Art can often be found holed up in his art studio, where he often paints, works with wood or clay, or creates various sculptures or pieces of jewelry or metalwork. When he is there, most do not disturb him needlessly, for he often retreats to there when he's upset, or feeling particularly creative at a certain time in his life.

Picture(s) and certain other information will be shared later as possible and all, I'm sure. The next profile that's most likely to be shared here is the one for Jesse Charron, the Bayous' current Pitching Coach. Please watch for it to be posted soon, if possible. Thank you. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Time to introduce you to Jesse Charron, the Bayous' current Pitching Coach. This introduction to him may be a bit longer than the average profile might be for many of the people mentioned in this thread, in terms of teams' major league personnel, but if so, then so be it. With that said, then, with no further ado, I'll get to trying to introduce him here as best as I can and as briefly as possible, of course, folks.

Jesse Charron was born on February 28, 1896 in West Valley City, Utah to Clement and the former Beatrice Wynston, the twin sister of Rose, as their eldest son and child of five for his parents, a lawyer and a housewife.

Jesse, unlike his future co-worker and first cousin Art Williams, grew up in a quiet house, at least for the most part, because his father was generally not the kind of man to raise his voice when he didn't have to, nor was he particularly a mean man, either. There were occasionally disagreements, of course, as there often is in many families, but at least 90% of the time, if not more, in many situations he saw or was part of, those disagreements were resolved rationally and civilly, without anyone resorting to yelling or throwing temper tantrums.

Jesse grew up loved by his parents, siblings, and several close friends, at least, as he grew up in Utah and Washington, D.C., mainly, for his father spent some time serving some, if not all, of the people of Utah as a Whig Party member of the United States House of Representatives. By the time Jesse was fifteen, however, his father had left office, and the family returned to Utah permanently. Or at least his parents did, anyway.

After finishing high school in 1914, Jesse went to college at the University of Kentucky, after being recruited by the head coach t here as a right-handed starting pitcher. In college, Jesse was a standout pitcher all four years. But after college, while playing for a construction company's baseball team, often weird injuries started coming his way somehow. Ultimately they helped end his active playing career, as did certain other life experiences, by the time he was in his late twenties to early thirties. Such as suffering from the sudden unexpected losses of his parents and one sibling to assorted criminal acts committed by certain people on a vacation trip to California for his parents and while out with friends after work one day in Nevada for his sibling, for instance.

It was not long after the losses of his parents and a brother that he met his future wife Margot Holmsen, a native of Minnesota, in Shreveport, Louisiana, while she was visiting her newlywed sister, and while he was conducting company-related business there as a construction worker. Within five years of their meeting each other, they were married in 1929, the day after his 33rd birthday.

Now, almost eighteen years and four children later, after having first met Joe Waldrip during World War II, he and Margot live in New Orleans during the season and in Chanhassen, Minnesota during the offseasons with their children, whenever possible. He loves living in both places a great deal, in truth, whenever he can, especially with plenty of hunting and fishing opportunities frequently present in both Louisiana and Minnesota.

Jesse was hired not long after the New Orleans Bayous pro baseball franchise was created as their first head pitching coach. He hopes in time to help the Bayous develop a very good pitching staff, but it may still take some time to do so, for sure. He may not yet have much to work with, on the major league team, for pitchers, but he remains optimistic the Bayous may be able to eventually develop several good ones in the near future.

In his spare time, besides hunting and fishing, he often plays chess fairly well, cooks, and rides horses, whenever he can. Plus he is usually fairly conversant, at least, about many potential topics of discussion, including current events, and even little-known and/or obscure facts about any number of people, places, or things, at that.

He often surprises people with weird turns of phrasings or a strange sense of humor, and most don't get the punchlines of many of his jokes. But he still shows that he cares a lot for the feelings of those he meets, whenever possible and appropriate. His attempts at being humorous around other people are NEVER cruel, for sure.

He is not the kind of man, generally, to ever bear a grudge against those who have hurt him or those close enough to him. But he still has a very good sense of justice as part of his personal nature. And he will always seek justice in lawful and moral ways, without exception, first, before directly seeking vengeance on the guilty party or parties himself. Especially due to the fact that he's definitely a Bible-believing Christian in his life, just as he has been for many years now.

Picture(s) and certain other information will be shared later as possible and all, I'm sure. The next profile that's most likely to be shared here will be the one for the Bayous' current hitting coach Miguel Castaneda. Please watch for it to be posted here as soon as possible, folks. Thank you. CD out.
