Hi. My name is John Strubel. I am a storyteller. I love to write. My writing is predominantly related to my greatest passion in life: baseball. Thank you for visiting my website.
Happy Mother’s Day! Today is bittersweet for me, but we took care of that in an earlier post. My hope is you enjoy your day with your mom and tell her you love her and how much she means to you. As always, baseball makes the connection with a series of stories around the league of players and their moms. My favorite is: New York Post: Alonso credits mom for his success … Michelle...
I want to tell you a story about the heart; Catherine Louise Strubel’s heart.
Did you know that the average heart beats 80 times per minute? That means the heart — on average — beats 4,800 times/hour; 115,200 times/day; 42,048,000 beats/yr; If you live to be 89 years old, your heart would beat 3.74 billion times.
I appeared as a guest on A Metsian Podcast on Thursday night to talk about the current state of the Mets with Mets bloggers Sam Maxwell, Rich Sparago and Mike Lecolant.
My mom passed away on Friday, May 3, 2019. I miss her so much.
In 2014, I invited my then 84-year old mom on the podcast to talk Mets baseball, her memories of taking me to my first Mets game, how I broke her finger playing hoops and paying to watch a future felon play football. Odd? Sure. Funny? No doubt.
