I guess that's true with me and my pops; even though I've only met him twice in my life, once at the age of seven, and again at twenty-two, we had a lot in common. What we had in common was in my bloodline from the start; pimpin' and dealing drugs." - Handle Ur Biz

Caleb Devine was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. The oldest of four, he battled abuse and neglect at an early age. At age sixteen, he ran away from his adopted mother, leaving his two younger sisters. Homeless and alone in the infamous streets of New Orleans, he became a full-fledged pimp by age seventeen.

The Hustler's Handbook

Pages : 0
Book Description
What is the difference between a promoter and a hustler?" Bill Veeck asks. "Well, let's look at it this way. Neither one of them is an advertiser. An advertiser pays for his space. A promoter works out a quid pro quo . A hustler gets a free ride and makes it seem as if he's doing you a favor." Keep this in mind as Veeck, one of baseball's all-time characters and certainly its best-ever hustler, draws on an apparently bottomless well of stories, anecdotes, theories, and attitudes involving the often bizarre world of major league baseball. And, of course, he's never afraid to speak his mind. The Hustler's Handbook is a rich, hilarious, flagrantly outspoken lesson on how to operate as a hustler in the corporate jungle of modern baseball.
