Batting tips from George Foster

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

This was definitely the highlight of the All-Access Baseball Experience! Yes, George was giving people a hard time – as he’s known to do – but the new manager of the Lake County Black Bears of the new Florida Winter Baseball League was also offering some legit batting tips (to folks of all skill levels) and basically giving participants a great hitting clinic (at no additional charge). It’s just not every day that you can get a former National League MVP to watch you swing the bat a dozen times (pitching machine was set to about 60 mph) and tell you what you’re doing right or wrong. He really seemed like he enjoyed being there and interacting with people and he’s about as personable as they come as far as former Reds greats (Lee May is right up there too :)

And George even showed up at the Reds Hall at the conclusion of the afternoon to sign anything anyone brought and take pictures. Class act.
