March 31, 2025 ~ The United Shore Professional Baseball League (USPBL) is entering their 10th season and are looking for host families to support its players. Guy, Lloyd, and Jamie talk with Andy Appleby, owner of USPBL, about helping these athletes adjust to their new surroundings as they pursue professional baseball aspirations.

Today on the Running Through My Vanes Podcast I welcome Ray Ortega!! Ray played pro baseball for the Birmingham Bloomfield Beavers during the inaugural USPBL season. He then went on to coach for the San Francisco Giants as a hitting coach for their development league. After that he went on to coach for the very popular Savannah Bananas as a hitting coach!! He is currently on a very important mission of saving the sport of baseball. Professional baseball has been on a steady decline in popularity over the years and Ray is exploring ways to make it great again. More important than all of that, Ray is a Christ follower and has a passion to share his faith with the players he coaches and interacts with. Ray's passion for Christ and his boldness is quite inspiring and pushes people to strive for that as well. Enjoy this conversation as much as I did!!
