The historic journey of MSBL Hall of Fame legend, Rodney Tafoyaand his uncompromising love for the game.Twelve years after inspiring readers with Ageless Arm: My Passion Lives in the Core, MSBL National Hall of Fame lefthanded pitcher Rodney Tafoya returns with a gripping second chapter of his historic baseball journey. Having already conquered the monumental milestone of 300 amateur wins, Tafoya isn't ready to hang up his cleats. Instead, he is setting his sights on an even more audacious goal: winning 200 more ballgames.
As only the second player in history inducted into the thirty-and-over Men's Senior Baseball League National Hall of Fame, Tafoya has become the blueprint for amateur greatness. But Inside the Core: The Passion Lives On is more than just a statistical record; it is a masterclass in balancing a high-powered corporate career with an unyielding personal obsession. By day, Tafoya excelled as a bank executive. By weekend, he transformed into baseball's ultimate Hired Gun.Spanning a legendary career, Tafoya's elite pitching skills made him a highly sought-after commodity. While he never collected a professional paycheck, his unparalleled love for the game earned him something just as valuable: a quarter-century of free global travel. From the diamonds of North America to international mounds in Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and New Zealand, teams eagerly covered his flights, room, and board just to have his lethal left arm on their roster.Inside the Core: The Passion Lives On is an inspiring, roadmap-style memoir for athletes, travelers, and dreamers alike. It proves that with corporate ingenuity, fierce discipline, and a deep-seated passion, you never have to choose between making a living and chasing your ultimate dream.
