Coach Dan Cassidy is an ambassador for Christ playing, and working as team physical therapist, for Athletes In Action in 1991. The AIA team played national baseball teams in Brazil, Venezuela and the Caribbean Islands while witnessing for Christ in churches and on the baseball diamond between and after games. Dan's trip inspired him to dream and plan for taking a Catholic baseball team one day around the world as a team of witnesses for the Catholic faith. This experience with AIA along with a pilgrimage to Medugorje Yugoslavia in 1988, the current apparition site of the Blessed Virgin Mary, led Dan to study Theology and Business at Franciscan University of Steubenville from 1997-1999.
