_{Bernie Carbo knows what it means to lose everything. Behind the fame of a celebrated MLB career — first-round draft pick, Boston Red Sox Hall of Famer, a home run for the ages — was a man fighting a private battle with alcoholism and drug addiction. At his lowest, Bernie wasn't just consuming controlled substances, he was dealing them. Then in 1993, everything collapsed at once. His mother took her own life, his father passed away, and his marriage dissolved. He had nothing left.It was former teammates Bill Lee and Ferguson Jenkins who helped Bernie find the Baseball Assistance Team, an organization that supports former players in need. That connection led him into recovery — and in rehab, Bernie encountered something he wasn't expecting. He found that God had a plan for his life. Through the healing power of Jesus Christ, everything changed.Out of that brokenness, Diamond Club Ministries was born. For over 30 years, Bernie has taken that same message of redemption to youth, families, schools, and churches — using the game he loves to share the story that saved his life. Because if God could restore Bernie Carbo, He can reach anyone.}
