Book Description
From a junior college and major college All-American to one of the semi-professional's all-time great right handed pitchers, followed by a professional career, Dave Caiazzo has been recognized throughout the years as one of the Boston area's elite pitchers of all time.

He struck out twenty hitters in just eight innings in a high school game and was Malden High School's first inductee into its Hall of Fame in 1983. After a very successful two-year career at Mass. Bay Community College where he was a combined junior college All-America selection as a pitcher/outfielder/designated hitter, Dave attended New Haven where he played for arguably college baseball's greatest coach of all time, Frank "Porky" Vieira. At New Haven, Dave won the opening game of the 1977 College World Series in Springfield, Illinois, and posted an amazing 22-2 record with six shutouts in just two seasons. In 1988, Dave was inducted into the University of New Haven's baseball-rich Hall of Fame. Cousin of one of baseball's most colorful and recognizable players, former New York Yankee first baseman Joe Pepitone, Dave holds the distinct record of eight championships in the then famous Intercity League with the Malden Merchants and Augustine's Athletics in just ten seasons. That is an all-time record. Dave Caiazzo's Greater Boston Baseball Camp was the most popular camp in the greater Boston area for twenty-eight years. After his playing career ended, Dave worked as a major league scout for the Cleveland Indians and the Anaheim and Los Angeles Angels for eighteen seasons helping many youngsters into pro baseball and giving them a start into the professional level. One player in particular he helped along the way was former Cy Young Award Winner Steve Bedrosian who recognizes Caiazzo as a key figure in his success. He has helped so many others through college getting them scholarships at top baseball universities. He has coached pitching at the AAU level, high school and college. He was the MIT pitching coach for seven seasons. Prior to that he worked at New Haven and Bridgeport University. He is currently with Bridgeport as well as Legion pitching coach in Malden, Massachusetts. Year round he works as a private pitching instructor at Strike One's Danvers location. All age groups from high school and older will enjoy this honestly interesting story of so many famous sports and film stars.

It will give everyone hope that they can say to themselves "I can do it like Dave Cai did."

Book Description
A manual for working mothers to achieve their own work-life balance. Real, raw, and funny - you will feel empowered and capable of having it all after reading! The manual contains fourteen topical chapters designed to give practical advice and inspiration through giggle-worthy stories. Chapters include: Stay At Home Moms Are Not The Enemy, Sex: Just Do It, and Mothers and Mothers-In-Law. Where Do I Start? Read an excerpt: Being a working mom is the most crazy, amazing, powerful, frustrating, loving experience you will ever have in your entire life. And I am here to tell you that you can do it! But you will never do it perfectly. Throw perfect out of your vocabulary. Just toss it out the window and keep on driving, because, sister, it ain't an option for you anymore. We've been fed a huge pack of lies. We've been told that we can bring home the bacon, fry it up in the pan, and feed our smiling, happy family with it. I am here to tell you that the quickest way to end up on a therapist's couch or crying into your glass of pinot noir at your girlfriend's house is to think that "perfect" and "working mother" belong in the same sentence. They don't. No one has it all. Save yourself the doctor's bill and the AA meetings and just accept the fact that if you choose to work and be a mom, life will be far from perfect.
