Honoring Horatio

One is from extreme poverty, the other from incredible wealth. One is of European decent and traces his American roots back a few generations. The other is a minority and his parents are first generation Americans. One is a womanizer and an atheist, the other a devout Christian with old fashioned values about marriage and family. One overcomes tragedy, and his circumstances to rise to the top. The other is seemingly gifted beyond what is fair, yet struggles with internal demons. These two become friends and business partners not because of what is different between them, but because of what they share. Their passion for baseball, business, and competition forge the foundation of a relationship that will not only change the world, but will change one of them in ways he never believes is possible. This is an American story of self-made and re-made men and women. A story of heartbreak, forgiveness, and redemption, but most of all it’s an American story. It is a story that can only happen in an America that most Americans still long for. An America where good triumphs over evil, faith and hard work are rewarded and expected. It is a story about the American dream and how fulfilling those dreams make America exceptional.
