God Loves Ya, Joe Torre

I would always cheer, "God loves ya, Joe Torre!" when I went to Yankees game and he was still their manager. I have always thought Joe Torre to be nothing but a gentleman. I have an even greater amount of respect for him after reading this:

But he's still also little Joey in so many ways, a witness to domestic abuse in his own home, and the shame and embarrassment that come from believing only his family had such ugly problems.

Ali & Joe are a team now, combining their efforts to end the cycle of abuse and doing so with Safe at Home, a foundation designed to focus on the education of children.

Maybe surprisingly short on self-esteem, honesty comes easily to Torre, telling his story so maybe someone else's life might take a turn.

"We can make a difference," he says.

God loves ya, indeed, Joe Torre!
