My brother never got an opportunity to throw a pitch, and I didn't want the same thing to happen to another young kid.

Senator Martinez is not driven by polls; he is driven by the needs of the state of Florida and its 17 million constituents.

I came into reality television with MTV's show 'The Real World,' specifically the 1994 season set in San Francisco. I was glued to the Puck and Pedro drama.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.
