Steve Palermo Biography

Steve Palermo, a Major League Baseball umpire, was living his dream. However, on a hot July night in Dallas, the dream evolved into a nightmare. Today, he shares his enthralling narrative of inspiration, motivation, tenacity, heartbreak, comedy, and love. In his narrative, he also incorporates anecdotes and curiosity about baseball, a sport that he holds passionately. 1991 was the year. Palermo entered his 15th season in the majors. He had already established himself as the finest in baseball, and he married the love of his life, Debbie Aaron, shortly before spring training. But none of that comforted him that July night after a mugger's gunshot damaged his spinal cord, leaving him in a life-threatening predicament. This was all because he responded promptly, like an umpire, when he rushed to the help of two restaurant workers who were being robbed. It was an arbitrary act of violence. Palermo, who is partially paralyzed, now reflects, stating that life's path sometimes take unforeseen turns. He has no ill will or regret. He has no sympathy for himself. His life is excellent, and he continues to work in the sport he enjoys, albeit not on the field. And he wants to share his experiences and good fortune with others. He realizes, just as he helped the waiters, that his message and story can assist many people, including those with disabilities, their families, and others facing life obstacles. He argues now that we all have the ability to push ourselves to overcome difficulties. Fortunately, many people never have to press the button. This is a tale that everyone should hear. It's both intriguing and brave. It conveys an essential life message: believe in your ability to achieve the impossible. His presentation is interesting and personal, and it can be adjusted to your specific business or special event needs, whether they are sales-driven, feel-good, or baseball-related.
