About this sermon

Life After Baseball - MLB Pitcher - Bobby Keppel - Men on a Mission Bobby Keppel was very close to becoming a starting pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. The first-round MLB Draft pick back in 2000 had spent four years honing his skills in Japan and was ready to use them on American soil. It seemed like just a matter of weeks before his dream would materialize. Then he got a call . . . Curt Keppel, his father, was battling cancer and asked his son to come home to help run the family business. What would be a tough decision for most players, Bobby Keppel found quite easy. The -31-year-old from St. Louis, Missouri, left his starting pitcher dreams behind and took over the family business. Bobby has no regrets. as his days are filled with joy to live an abundantly Catholic family life. He is currently the father of six and he still finds time for the men’s apostolate that he helped to start at St. Joseph Parish in Cottleville, MO.
