Hey everybody, as you may have noticed we haven't posted episodes for a couple weeks and that's because after over 300 episodes I decided to take a little break to travel and do some relaxation. We are also working on some new ideas for episodes to give you a shot in the arm three days a week in the morning and booking guests for our full length episodes. I'm thinking about all of my loyal listeners out there and I hope you enjoy some time to play outside in the sun as we get this summer rolling. Donate to the Captain John J. Sax Foundation here

Today I wrap up our salute to the military with the story of Mo Berg who might be the most interesting man in the history of baseball.

Berg was fluent in seven languages and was familiar with another five. He played 16 years in the Major Leagues and traveled to Japan with a MLB All-Star team that included Babe Ruth and Lou Gerig. While there he snuck to the top of one of the tallest buildings in Tokyo and took pictures of the skyline, the harbor and a munitions facility.

That is because Mo Berg became a spy while still playing baseball and he continued after his career. Listen to today’s short to hear about Berg's exploits and how he played a role in winning WWII.

Today I want to continue to salute our military a day after Memorial Day and so today I am focusing on the famous flying squadron The Purple Foxes. This is the squadron that my son John was a part of.

The Purple Foxes are famous for flying in to rescue a platoon of Marines who were stuck under heavy fire during the Vietnam War. When they landed a soldier remarked “We thought you flyboys didn’t give a shit!” To which the crew chief said “We give a shit.”

That is the Purple Foxes motto and it is painted on all of their aircraft. They are the only squadron allowed to have a curse word on their aircrafts. My son was hand picked to be a part of The Purple Foxes and he couldn’t have been prouder and neither could I.

Today on Memorial Day I wanted to give my thanks to all the men and women who have given their lives to defend this country. Since I love World War II history I wanted to focus a little bit on D-day and some of the other breakthroughs that helped us win that war.

What does D-day mean? How did code breaking help win the war and lead to the modern personal computer? I answer these questions and give my gratitude to anyone who has served our country, including my beloved son who also died protecting our freedom.

Sometimes you hear people say things like “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” or “you had better have a back up plan.” The truth is that most people who accomplish difficult goals don’t have a “plan B.” I was going to play Major League baseball, period, end of story. If I failed I would have figured it out then but I didn’t need and I didn’t want to think about not achieving my goal.

Listen to interviews with actors, musicians or successful entrepreneurs, they often talk about how they HAD to do whatever they did. That there was no other option, no back-up plan. If there was a back-up plan they would have reverted to it when things got really hard, which they always do.

So if you want to do something truly great, you’ve got to go all in. Put all your eggs in that basket, if you fail then you’ll live with knowing you did everything you could and you’ll pick yourself up and try something new.

I have good news for you today and that is that if you have a lot of struggles and a lot of problems there's a good chance that a major part of the problem is YOU! And you are the only person, place or thing you really have any control over, which means you have more agency than you think to solve your problems.

You may have serious hardships and circumstances but that doesn’t change the fact that you are the only thing you can control and chances are that if you change, a lot about the world around you will seem to change as well.

Remember the old adage about the three jerks. If you run into one jerk in a day, that’s unfortunate. If you run into two jerks that is really an unlucky day. But if you run into a third jerk, chances are that you’re the jerk not the other people.

So stop worrying about other people you can’t control and start worrying about what you can control… yourself.

It’s time for another MLB update where I give my thoughts on how the season is going and what the biggests surprises and disappointments are so far.

The Tampa Bay Rays just keep on rolling! Crummy stadium, low payroll and they cannot be stopped. Unlike the Oakland A’s who seem to have zero interest in putting a competitive team on the field.

The Dodgers continue to rein over the National League West despite the belief of many that the Padres may be the new favorite. Are the Padres the biggest disappointment? You’ll have to listen to find out!

You know I love to share inspirational sports stories with you and today is a whopper! It's about the Florida Athletic High School Hall of Famer Carl Joseph.

Joseph was a star athlete in high school in football, basketball and track and field. At 6’1” he could dunk the ball with authority, routinely blocked shots into the crowd, played on the defensive line in football, could throw a shot put 40 feet and won the high jump in a track meet clearing 5’10”.

Joseph then went on to play middle linebacker in college at Bethune-Cookman. He did all this, coming from a poor family on a tobacco farm with nine siblings and a single mother.

But that’s not what makes this story impressive. It's that Joseph did all of this on one leg. Joseph was born with one leg and he didn’t use a prosthetic leg for any sport. He literally hopped around on one leg, making tackles and blocking shots.

So what is holding you back?

Check out this video of Carl Joseph

Jamie Moyer pitched in four different decades as a Major League pitcher and won 269 games. He was never the most talented guy, he didn’t throw hard and his “stuff” wasn’t impressive, but he got the very most out of his ability by knowing his strengths.

He knew he could use hitters' aggressiveness to his advantage and he did so for 25 seasons. But Moyer also knew he should get the most out of his influence and stature as a professional athlete and he did that as well.

He and his wife started a foundation which holds camps called Camp Erin, named after 15-year-old Erin Metcalf who died of liver cancer. The camps bring together children who have lost a family member to participate in fun outdoor activities and meet other kids who know what real loss feels like.

Today I’m talking about how working on a team creates a positive environment with better outcomes for everyone. It’s tempting to want to “go it alone” but the rewards of being backed up by a team bear out in the research and by people’s experiences.

Being on a team reduces stress, reduces mistakes and creates better decision making. I know that playing a team sport made our failures less painful and our successes way more fun.

So if you are starting out on a new dream or looking for a new career, build a team or look to join a team because you’ll be better off if you do.
