To summarize, Donnie isn’t a man who enjoys the “stereotypical jock asshole” role anymore – though he understands it was because he was that cocksure, antagonistic, and competitive young man that he got as far as he did in as short of a time. He’s thrown away the over-competiveness out the window, though he still holds onto his sense of humor and assertiveness. For those that personally know him they understand the car accident has irrevocably changed him; there is a sadness and sorrow that follows him no matter how much he puts on a strong face for it. For his peers at Rising Sun, they might not recognize him.

He still blames himself for the death of his wife in said accident, finding the injury he sustained after the accident a pertinent reminder of one of the worst mistakes he made in his life and what it cost him. His only child, a daughter named Jennifer was two years old and not in the car at the time. Since the accident Donnie has become a prolific sports personality and television actor – he currently stars in the television show “Equilibrium” about a sports commentator in Los Angeles and the drama that surrounds his life. But what about his life before baseball and his family? Donnie insists it’s a very boring story and in many ways it is, but it does shed some light on where he came from and how far he has come from who he used to be. Rising Sun Elementary School was the beginning of Donnie’s competitive drive to be the “best” and for many it seemed that Donnie was the aggressor in their day-to-day lives. He was viciously sarcastic, often teasing others for one reason or another. He didn’t think much of it at the time as he saw it as endlessly amusing, but by the time he was in his late twenties, he realized how absolutely terrible he had been. A unhappy kid who was happy bringing down others to his level; to relish in them to be as unhappy as he was following his parent’s divorce in 1995. But time eventually passed and he made it to a major college on an athletic scholarship and eventually to Professional Baseball. [/indent] [/color]
