Dominic's ancestry is obvious from the above information regarding his parents.

Sarah is the daughter of Zoltan Nagy and Penny Smith. The family ancestry is found at Nagy Ancestors.

Open heart surgery at 7 mo, a St. Rita HS graduate, and a graduate from Valparaiso U. - Basketball and baseball are favorite sports. He still finds time to play baseball and referee basketball games. Dominick is now a corporate financial analyst at Comcast Corp. After a temporary job in the business world, Sarah is beginning a career teaching troubled children. "They need me". 

The couple began married life near Detroit but late in 2004 a job transfer brought them to Chicago-land. They lived with Grandpa Don until purchasing a home in Monee, Illinois.

In October of 2008, Sarah joined the Catholic Church and Dominick and Grandpa Don were her sponsors. They are now a single faith family.

On November 14, 2008 Sarah gave birth to Isabella Anne at 6 pounds, 4 ounces. Our first great-grandchild. These pictures celebrate the day of her birth.

They must like him. By "they" I mean the people at iTrak and the people at The SF Giants. By "him" I mean our Anthony Albano. His temporary job at the Giants training camp has turned into a permanent job. After spring training in Phoenix is over he will go to San Francisco where he will continue to train the batters to keep their eye on the ball using the iTrak system. He draws his pay and expenses from iTrak and the Giants will pay for his apartment in SF. He will will also go on the road with the team when the clubs they visit have facilities available for an extra batting cage. When he can't travel with them  he will be working with a couple of their farm clubs. Is Anthony happy? You betcha! The Giants organization loves the training for their batters which has raised their batting averages noticeably. The photo above is from his days at Florida Atlantic University.

Anthony Graduated from Bro. Rice High School Where he excelled on the Baseball team. He was drafted by the Minnesota Twins but chose to accept a Baseball scholarship to Evansville  University in Indiana. After two years there, he received his release and transferred to Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida. In 04-05 there he was put on the disabled list due to a shoulder injury.

He has played Summer baseball with various teams including two seasons with the Quincy Gems. He completed his studies at FAU in the spring of 2006.

After playing part of the summer season with Prairie Gravel he was signed by the Windy City Thunderbolts and finished the 2006 season there under his first professional contract.

In the fall of 2006 he took a position of assistant coach at Robert Morris College to assist in their 2006 fall and 2007 Spring seasons.

In October of 2006, the Windy City management was approached by the management of the River City Rascals and Anthony was traded for a first line pitcher and #1 draft pick. His stay at  O'Fallon, Missouri was short as he was traded to the Slippery Rock Sliders for most of the 2007 season. The team left Slippery Rock, PA becoming the Midwest Sliders for the 2008 season playing all games as the Visiting team. It was a rough year.

Congratulations Marc. You find yourself in a distinguished group of people.

If a job needs doing, Marc is doing it. He loves basketball but baseball is his sport. Marc Graduated from Brother Rice High School in 2002. He was a member of the Varsity Baseball team.

He attended Moraine Valley Community College in 03 & 04 getting his associates degree while enjoying baseball as his sport. 

In 2005 he was recruited by several major colleges and selected Morris College to continue his studies under a generous scholarship.  He attended classes at the Orland Park campus as he continued to play baseball. 

After graduating Marc continued playing and coaching baseball wherever he could while submitting job applications in a very competitive market. In October of 2008 he landed a position as a management trainee at Menards. But that wasn't his cup of tea and he left after about a year.

In 2010 Marc went with the Southern Illinois Miners, and followed in Anthony's footsteps as a minor league player in the Frontier League. Later he was cut as a player but stayed on, employed as their bullpen catcher, traveling with the team and loving it.
