EVENT 7: BILLY, YOU'RE FIRED!

I have met our latest draftee, Jack Perconte, a few times as a guest lecturer/instructor for our local Little League and Senior Leagues (for which I have coached 7 + seasons now). He is one of the most humble and knowledgeable baseball people that I have ever met. I also get a few links sent to me from Jack via LinkedIn. Here is a link to one:

http://www.baseballcoachingtips.net/tools-resources/video-of-the-week/#!

Perconte has an excellent style and manner that kids just seem to love. Dads like me like his stories about Tommy Lasorda, his one-time roommate, Ron Roenicke, and others...along with his instructional style.

If you have any interests in his video clips or posts, I think you can join in from this link.

I remember back in the early 1980's thinking that Perconte would be the next Dodger second baseman. He was doing well at AAA and he always played hard and hustled. Steve Sax was at AA but got called up ahead of Perconte. It's nice to hear that he's a good guy.
