Over the past 2 years, Pete Parise has called 8 different places 'home' - 9 if you count the mound. 10 if you count the outfield. Starting in 2007, the now 24-year old went from tracking down fly balls at the University of Pittsburgh to taking the ball in the 9th inning for the Panthers. After 10 days of Indy ball for the newly formed Slippery Rock Sliders, he signed with the St. Louis Cardinals where his rise through the system began in Johnson City, Tennessee and has continued in Batavia, New York - Davenport, Iowa - Palm Beach, Florida - Springfield, Missouri - and presently in Memphis, Tennessee - over 11,000 miles from where 'home' will always be in Bronx, New York.
