Okay, it's time to try and introduce you to the Fourteeners' current pitching coach as best as I can here, I think, everyone. Hopefully this post won't be too long, but if it is, please try and bear with me, as always.
Jeremy Pearson was born on March 27, 1907 in Alton, Illinois as the first son and third child of his parents Isaiah and the former Naomi Keiko Suzuki, a diplomat and an artist. When his future mother and her family were in great danger around the time of the Russo-Japanese War, Isaiah helped the family get out of Japan before it was too late. Out of gratitude for his assistance, Naomi's parents arranged for Naomi to marry Isaiah. Isaiah wasn't all that keen on the idea, but still eventually agreed to marry Naomi in April 1906, with some trepidation at the same time. Especially after his parents told him it was high time he got married, seeing as Isaiah was already in his mid-thirties by that time.
Jeremy has two minutes-older triplet sisters, those being Hikari and Rei, with Hikari being ten minutes older than Rei, and forty minutes older than Jeremy. He has six younger siblings, four of them adopted by his parents, most after various natural disasters or other possible causes elsewhere in the world, whatever they might be. Of all his siblings, whether biological or adopted, he is the only one not to date anyone in their life with the possibility or intention of considering them as potential lifemates. For he generally tries to keep to himself as much as he can when not working.
He has spent a little time in the world of sports, but this will be only his second year in the baseball world. For during the War, he had largely secluded himself deep in the mountains somewhere in Colorado, for reasons known mainly only to him and God in his life. He was found by certain members of the newly-created Colorado Fourteeners organization, and eventually convinced to become their first pitching coach. Baseball wasn't exactly his favorite sport growing up, golf was, but he ultimately decided to try something new for a change. He doesn't know if he can turn the Fourteeners' pitching staff into a good one yet, but he's still going to try, just the same.
Much of his free time is spent in contemplation of many things. Even while he periodically does carpentry, sculpting, painting, photography, and pottery-type projects in his rural home a half hour's distance from the Fourteeners' home park on horseback, just a bit north of Colorado Springs.
A picture or pictures is or are to follow later, when possible and appropriate, along with other information as well, in like manner and all. This is probably enough information for you all now, in terms of an introductory post about him, I think. I should probably close this post here very soon.
The next post will likely be used to introduce you to the Fourteeners' current hitting coach, Rich Castor. Please wait for it, and I'll try to have it up as soon as I can, for sure. Until then, at least, I'll close this post. CD out.
