Former MLB star Fred McGriff was the star of Tom Emanski's Baseball World Defensive Drills videos that taught kids of the 1980s how to play baseball. While on Kenny Mayne's final sports-highlight show last night, McGriff admitted he's never even seen the videos he endorsed...

I have the Emanski videos on DVD. Believe it or not, I used a lot of his methods on my little league team and it freaking worked like magic.

Tom Emanski video would have been a great sketch for SNL during the Will Ferrel years.

Why would anyone think he’d sit down and watch hours of tapes on basic fundamentals?

I called both numbers. 1st number doesn't work. 2nd number connects you to an agent. I hung up before the connection was made.

I've always wondered how he got Fred to do the video. Classic, great backstory. Probably going to hurt Emanski's video sales now though. Nobody will want to watch those VCR tapes.

Deadspin did a great Emanski article about ten years ago. Might still be online there somewhere. I read it several times its so good. Unreal story. He actually in the later years still employed one guy who switched the VHS tapes to CDs for the people who were still ordering. He basically turned into a recluse after his videos and youth coaching fame. Still lives in Florida in a secluded property. Doesnt want to be bothered.
