Subscribe“I’m ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille.”
Actually, it’s Mr. Steve Finnan, who shot this video of your humble blogger wrapping up the Jewish Major Leaguer season.
This reminds me of the time I received a call from FOX News regarding the brilliant marketing strategy of putting advertisements for the first Spiderman movie on the bases of major league games some years back. They were looking for someone to comment on the issue and wanted me, as a long time member of the Society for American Baseball Research, to suggest someone. After a lengthy conversation they asked me if I’d be that someone and I agreed. A few hours later a car arrived to whisk me to their mid-town studio.
To make a long story short, I was not as eloquent on-screen as I was on the phone. I didn’t exactly freeze (older person’s reference here), but I forgot to repeat some of the pithy comments I had mentioned earlier, to the frustration and disappointment of the show’s host, who tried to coach me in that direction.
Anyway, this new project might be a bit rough, but it’s a work in progress.
