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.
