It has over 170 pages of detailed information on our wonderful city, school, neighborhoods, activities, home values…everything that you need to know. There are so many benefits to living in the Phoenix area, and Mesa is one of its top suburbs. Why do I think Mesa Arizona is great! I am not going to parrot facts from Sperlings or Street Advisor. Everyone is different….This is my opinion…...Mountain views, people, weather, outdoor activities, economic stability and culture are my hot points. Mountain views Superstition Mountains I live in far east Mesa, almost in Apache junction. I just love driving down the road and seeing the superstition mountains. When I bought my house I needed at least a small mountain view. Mesa has views of Usery Mountain, Superstition Mountain, Goldfield Mountains, McDowell Mountains, and Phoenix Mountains. I used to hike Usery mountain trails. I love the vast views. This is my Nirvana. Jean Wawrzyniak-Fry Realtor 480 721-1195 www.HomesWithJean.com June 30,2015 5 Mesa, AZ Relocation Guide People Great People My personal experience with the people is very positive. There is a strong sense of community here. People reach out and help each other. For example I was driving in a downpour, I needed to make a u turn in a fairly rural area in Mesa….my front wheel inched into the mud on the side of the road and my whole car slid into the mud. I was stuck. I called auto club….as I waited 3 different sets of gentlemen (I use that term specifically) stopped in the driving rain, slogged into the mud and tried to pull me out. The 3rd gentleman succeeded. There were also people that stopped to make sure help was coming. This was a rural area….traffic was light t best. I must add I am not a young cutie men will stop to impress. My husband and daughter have had similar experiences. So my overall impression is a people that truly do care for each other. Weather Sun I grew up in Illinois. I had 4 seasons (2 were wonderful…spring and fall). I miss fall the most. There were clear crisp days enjoying the fall colors. I had a lot of cold and wet and overcast days. I do not miss that. Mesa is sunny and warm. Winter is amazing here with temperatures in the 60’s and 70’s. Our bad weather is the intense heat in the summer, while 100 and dry is

  • A's News Clips, Wednesday, February 22, 2011 Oakland A's Know This Much About David Dejesus
    A’s News Clips, Wednesday, February 22, 2011 Oakland A's know this much about David DeJesus: He can hit By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune PHOENIX -- For a guy who appears to have a spot locked down in the A's lineup, David DeJesus' exact role is hard to define. Is he a rally-starter who best fits near the top of the lineup, or a run producer who will earn his paycheck clearing the bases? All that's known is DeJesus, obtained via trade from Kansas City in November, is targeted for right field. If the A's wind up showing improvement offensively this season, figure DeJesus will be central to the effort in one way or another. "He's an all-around hitter who uses the whole field," A's manager Bob Geren said. "There are guys that hit more home runs, but when you put the numbers together, he's one of the best hitters in baseball." A .289 career hitter over seven-plus major league seasons, DeJesus, 31, has collected as many as 73 RBIs in a year (2008) and scored as many as 101 runs (2007). One notable stat for fans tired of watching A's hitters make the slow walk back to the dugout: DeJesus led the majors last season with a .287 average in two-strike counts. There's a strong chance he'll wind up as the No. 3 hitter by default -- sandwiched between table-setters Coco Crisp and Daric Barton and sluggers Josh Willingham and Hideki Matsui. Therein lies the problem that exists for the A's in the eyes of some.

  • Moneyball' Bit Player Korach Likes Film
    A’s News Clips, Tuesday, October 11, 2011 'Moneyball' bit player Korach likes film ... and Howe Ron Kantowski, Las Vegas Review Ken Korach's voice can be heard for about 22 seconds in the hit baseball movie "Moneyball," now showing at a theater near you. That's probably not enough to warrant an Oscar nomination, given Anthony Quinn holds the record for shortest amount of time spent on screen as a Best Supporting Actor of eight minutes, as painter Paul Gaugin in 1956's "Lust for Life." But whereas Brad Pitt only stars in "Moneyball," longtime Las Vegas resident Korach lived the 2002 season as play-by- play broadcaster for the Oakland Athletics, who set an American League record by winning 20 consecutive games. And though Korach's 45-minute interview about that season wound up on the cutting-room floor -- apparently along with photographs of the real Art Howe, the former A's manager who was nowhere near as rotund (or cantankerous) as Philip Seymour Hoffman made him out to be in the movie -- Korach said director Bennett Miller and the Hollywood people got it right. Except, perhaps, for the part about Art Howe. "I wish they had done a more flattering portrayal of Art ... but it's Hollywood," Korach said of "Moneyball," based on author Michael Lewis' 2003 book of the same name. "They wanted to show conflict between Billy and Art." Billy is Billy Beane, who was general manager of the Athletics then and still is today. Beane is credited with adapting the so-called "Moneyball" approach -- finding value in players based on sabermetric statistical data and analysis, rather than traditional scouting values such as hitting home runs and stealing bases -- to building a ballclub.

  • Field Staff Omar Lopez Manager
    FIELD STAFF OMAR LOPEZ MANAGER Omar Lopez begins his first season as Corpus Christi’s field chief in 2018. Lopez, the seventh skipper in the 14-year history of the Hooks, enters his 20th campaign with the Astros organization. Last season, Lopez, 41, guided the Advanced A Buies Creek Astros to a 74-65 record, which topped the Carolina League Southern Division. Four Astros earned all-star honors, including outfielder Myles Straw who was placed on the mid-and-postseason squads. Following the regular year, Lopez managed the Mesa Solar Sox of the Arizona Fall League, a showcase circuit for the game’s best prospects. The Solar Sox, outfitted with farmhands from the Astros, A’s, Cubs, Nationals and Tigers organizations, lost to Peoria in the AFL championship game. Lopez has won two Venezuelan Professional Baseball League championships in four years as manager of Caribes de Anzoategui. Caribes claimed the crown this winter, defeating Cardinales de Lara, 4-2, in the title series. In his first year as skipper, Lopez was named 2014-15 LVBP Manager of the Year after piloting Anzoategui to a 39-24 record and circuit title. His other managerial stops include Class A Quad Cities (2013-14, 2016), Advanced A Lancaster (2015), Rookie Level Greeneville (2011-12), Gulf Coast League (2009-10) and Venezuelan Summer League (2007-08). A native of Valencia, Venezuela, Lopez led Quad Cities to an 81-57 finish and a Midwest League title in 2013. Carlos Correa hit .320 with 33 doubles, nine home runs, 86 RBIs and 10 stolen bases in 117 games for the River Bandits, earning MWL Mid-and- Postseason All-Star honors.
