I used to do videos for a motivational speaker, guru. Sadly, he grew old and died. One of his acolyte was legendary and beloved Seattle Mariner, two time A.L. batting champion and all around mensch, Edgar Martinez. We shot at his house, a large but not ostentatious house in Bellevue. It was like old home week- Geoff "Been there" Dunlap, Paully Crampton and Johnny the Boot, and working for the old chain gang: Victory Studios.
Edgar is no Lou Tice but did fine teaching kids about batting and about "self talk" and "affirmations". I never felt bad about anything in these videos: they were obviously helpful and common sense. Two days of shooting. Edgar gave us signed baseballs when we were done. Bill Gates never gave us baseballs, then again BG never hit .347 in a season where he had to bat against Pedro Martinez either.
