I want to be the player who hits home runs, drives in runs.

I have three beautiful children and a World Series ring. That's all I need.

I love Tumi because of the lifetime guarantee. And their luggage is just so solid. Looks good. Versatile. My carry-on bag is Tumi. My hanging bag is Tumi. My big suitcase is Tumi. All black. Love it.
