Sitting behind home plate in loanDepot park, Miami Marlins manager Skip Schumaker is talking about home – and baseball – for this magazine’s home issue, https://www.qgdigitalpublishing.com/publication/?i=819041&pre=1
Home is where Lindsey and Brody and Presley – wife, son, daughter – are in California while Skip resides in Miami and makes his living trying to get ballplayers home at loanDepot park. Talk even for 15 minutes with Schumaker, though, and you get the impression that managing baseball is an avocation of sorts, while managing lives is the real game.
They are lessons he learned from his late father, Wayne Schumaker, who passed away last month just days before the start of the new season. In memory of his dad, Skip donned jersey number 45, his dad’s number when he played for teams in high school, on Opening Day. https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2024/03/26/dave-hyde-skip-schumaker-brings-high-hopes-and-a-heavy-heart-into-marlins-season/
“Seeing how he always cared more about family than anything else made an impression on me,” Skip, Major League Baseball’s 2023 National League Manager of the Year, tells writer John Hughes.
And now that young-middle-aged man (he’s 44) wants to be like his father – to make family priority.
“Everything I know, I learned from somebody else,” Schumaker says. “I didn’t make any of this up.”
We’ll talk more with Schumaker in this special home issue, which features our interview on the cover of the digital version of the magazine and a report from the recent Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach, where the invitation to “have fun with it” was as much a design objective as a visitor experience, on the cover of the print version.
We’ll also talk with a South Florida couple who were determined to make homes (plural) in South Florida and North Carolina (they had a plan, what could go wrong?); get advice from On the Money writer Robyn A. Friedman on how home sellers can sell quickly and get the most bang for their home-sale buck; look for products and décor with Patti Roth to perk up your home; chat with CITY Furniture CEO Andrew Koenig and shop with wine and spirit writer Peg San Felippo for stylish wine decanters, which are tasteful additions to any home decor – and, she says, can make your favorite wine taste even better.
