| Introduction | I enjoyed 13 years of professional baseball beginning in June 1972. 10 years as a Big Leaguer with the Montreal Expos, New York Mets, California Angels and ended my career with the Texas Rangers October 1985. I have been teaching the game to youth since 1979. Upon retiring, my lessons program has grown tremendously. Over time, I realized the need to reach even more families so creating a DVD of my hitting program. My first DVD "Hitting Made Simple" will be available this November 2009. The "Hitting Made Simple" DVD is great for first-time parents that have no knowledge of hitting, or how to purchase the correct bat, where to stand in the batters box and the effective way to measure, hold and swing a bat. The information on this DVD is timeless and will help players of all ages, parents and coaches. |
