Championship hearts: In court and on the field

TAMPA, Fla. -- If the Tampa Bay Rays have any lingering hope of reaching the post-season, they're going to have to find a way to catch the New York Yankees in the wild-card race. It's a long shot given the losses that keep mounting and the sizable gap that separates them from their pinstriped rivals in the AL East.

But to pull it off, they'll ultimately have to take a page -- or about 280 pages to be exact -- out of Steve Yerrid's book, The Making of A Championship Heart.

It is a rare and revealing book, in fact, about the Yankees themselves.

Yerrid isn't a baseball scribe by profession, and his name won't typically be found amid the sports pages, whether in newsprint or the cyberspace variety. But he's made a championship name of his own beyond any big-league field of dreams -- as a big-time winner in the field of law.

Regarded as one of the nation's top trial litigators, winning landmark, multi-million-dollar verdicts for his clients the way Cy Young caliber pitchers rack up "Ws" year in and out, Yerrid has delivered a baseball work that no one else could have pulled off.

For one thing, no one else had the unparalleled access granted by the Boss himself, fostered by a mutual respect and trust that grew through the decades.

A close friend of the late George Steinbrenner and his family, the 60-year-old Tampa attorney was allowed inside the world of the Yankees by the Steinbrenners -- including George and Joan, and their four children Hank, Jennifer, Jessica and Hal -- during the team's world championship season of 2009.

The result is Championship Heart -- on one level, a tribute to Steinbrenner, his commitment to excellence and his charitable nature that he preferred to keep out of the public eye.

But on a broader scale, Yerrid's book -- an impressively produced glossy work filled with photos of Yankees from present day through the glory years -- is something more. He uses the ballclub and its legacy of success to explore the many components of a champion, whether in the game of baseball or the game of life.

Yerrid identifies 18 elements in all -- concepts such as desire, preparation, leadership and attitude. And he showcases each with pertinent quotes from the many Yankees he interviewed along with comments from all-time greats, illustrating the words with a mix of lively 2009 photos from the field, bench and clubhouse and classic shots from the past.

Ft. Lauderdale Medical Malpractice: Finding A Good Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Medical malpractice is the third leading cause of death in America, killing 100,000 people every year.

From 1996 through 1999, Florida hospitals reported 19,885 incidents but only 3,177 medical malpractice claims. In other words, for every 6 medical errors only one claim is filed.

Why are the medical malpractice claims in Florida so low even though Florida is the fifth largest market for medical malpractice claims? The U. S. Department of Justice estimates that in 2003 (the latest available), medical malpractice is the second-toughest type of tort case for plaintiffs to win at trial, with defendant physicians prevailing in 63.3% of verdicts.

Florida medical malpractice claims are by no means easy to win. In my own back yard, many Ft. Lauderdale plaintiffs come into law offices but are hesitant to file a claim. Don’t be. Yes, medical malpractice is a highly specialized area of personal injury and can be complex and time consuming. But if you or a family member has been a victim of medical malpractice as a result of negligent or irresponsible behavior, you deserve compensation.

You just need to find the BEST medical malpractice attorney, a Ft. Lauderdale attorney with a track record of successful malpractice judgments and verdicts.

Don’t be fooled by the TV advertisements that air on Florida stations all the time inquiring about damages caused by a specific condition or a specific drug. In most cases, these central organizations will not bring justice to its clients. Generally, they are clearinghouses and get compensated by racking up referrals to attorneys they serve. If you believe you have a legitimate medical malpractice case, you’re better off contacting a LOCAL attorney.

Here are some other characteristics to look for in medical malpractice attorneys:

Local – You want a local medical malpractice attorney because they are familiar with the state laws and the local judges, medical experts and court personnel. Payment – Beware of medical malpractice attorneys who want to charge you upfront. Most law firms will accept medical malpractice cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t have to pay attorney fees unless the case is settled favorably.
