🔥 Not only can they sing, dance and make killer trick plays, but they can play some mean baseball! It was a BLESSING having a few very special Banana Ball players stop by the facility during their off week! They may be Firefighters, but that didn’t stop them from being on fire in training at PPD! 💪🏽🔥⚾️ 🍌

It’s not often Coach David gets time like this with the younger athletes himself, but this 7-year-old instantly grabbed his attention with her skill, athleticism, and coachability! 💪🏽🔥

She’s already showing signs of being a future beast, and we’re excited to keep developing her game! Grateful for the opportunity to work with such a special talent! 🙌🏽 💫

Devotional Day 5 of Baseball & the Bible: World Series Edition

“Faith Over The Odds” 🙏🏽 ⚾️

Game 5 of the 2015 World Series had all the drama—extra innings, late-game heroics, and a Royals comeback that sealed their first championship in 30 years.

But behind the celebration was GM Dayton Moore, a man who almost said no to the job. The Royals were struggling, and the challenge seemed overwhelming—until a call to his spiritual mentor changed everything.

“You were born an original. You don’t want to die a copy,” he was told. Then came the verse that anchored his decision:
“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” – 2 Timothy 1:7

Moore trusted God, took the leap, and stayed faithful through years of losing seasons. His leadership wasn’t just about building a team—but transforming a culture.

Devotional Day 4 of Baseball & the Bible: World Series Edition

Faith Over Fear 🙏🏽 ⚾️

Middle relievers may be the most underappreciated players in baseball—but often the most impactful. Jeremy Affeldt knew that well. In Game 4 of the 2012 World Series, with the score tied and pressure high, he stepped onto the mound with a simple reminder inked on his arm: Solus Christus — Christ Alone.

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” — John 14:6

Solus Christus is rooted in scripture:
• Acts 4:12 — “There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
• 1 Timothy 2:5 — “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.”
• John 3:36 — “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life.”

“Solus Christus sums up everything for me… What drives me to be who I am? The answer is Christ.” — Jeremy Affeldt

Affeldt struck out three of Detroit’s top hitters, kept the game tied, and helped the Giants clinch the title. But his mindset went beyond the mound:

“I can’t control what happens after I throw a baseball… Ultimately as a believer in Jesus Christ, I believe God has my destiny in His hands.”

That day, his tattoo wasn’t just ink. It was his identity and a way of life.

Devotional Day 3 of Baseball & the Bible: World Series Edition

Faith Over Shame: Andy Pettitte & Redemption ⚾✝️

In Game 3 of the 2009 World Series, Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte wasn’t just chasing another title—he was seeking redemption. Two years earlier, he admitted to using HGH to recover from injury. Though it wasn’t against MLB rules then, his conviction led him to stop, confess, and lean deeper into his faith.

Pettitte, known for his walk with Christ, clung to 1 Peter 4:11—striving to live above reproach and give God glory through his actions. Despite boos and criticism, he delivered on the mound, helping secure the Yankees’ 27th title and earning his 5th ring.

“I thought I’d ruined everything,” Pettitte said. “But God knows my heart… and honored me for how I handled it.”

A word from Coach David: “Have the courage to take ownership of your wrong doings. Don’t try to hide it, Face it!”
