Reply With QuotePart of the SECRET for Wade Boggs was eating chicken before every game.
I'm currently working on a marketing plan for capsulized chicken supplements backed by a 15-Point-Batting-Average-Improvement-Guarantee.
I am trying to reach someone associated with a MLB organization, either as an executive, coach, or player who is simply open to new ideas. In the past, I have encountered owners who just don't get involved with such matters, and general managers, player development types, coaches and players who honestly believe they know it all. Therefore, they ignore the very thing they need most.
I tried to gain auditions to demonstrate, FOR FREE, the superiority of my methods but never got a single taker. Now, I have decided to approach this as a professional consultant and charge a fee worthy of my service.
Here is a letter I recently sent to several MLB General Managers. Currently the majority of hitters in every MLB organization remains unaware of the most powerful hitting information available. This ignorance is severely limiting their success too. Perhaps you know someone in baseball who doesn't think they already know it all and would appreciate knowing the greatest hitting secret of all.
Here is the letter I recently sent to several MLB General Managers:
Getting a Good Ball to Hit
By
Bruce Winship Wright
Author of The Art and Science of Hitting .500
When Ted Williams was a 19 years old his hitting coach was Rogers Hornsby, who Ted always referred to as the greatest right handed hitter for average and power in the history of baseball. At 19, Ted was playing Double-A baseball for the Minneapolis Millers and first met Rogers Hornsby during spring training in Daytona Beach, Florida.
While most people disliked Hornsby due to his abrasive manner, Ted always spoke highly of him. Hornsby liked the young Williams, most probably because of Ted’s enormous natural ability coupled with Ted’s strong desire to learn about hitting from the all-time great.
Hornsby taught Ted Williams what he believed to be the secret to great hitting which is Getting a Good Ball to Hit. Ted centered his entire hitting philosophy on this key fundamental rule.
Hornsby was known as a man of few words but when he did speak it was normally to negatively criticize or ridicule less gifted or capable players. His reputation was one of being extremely harsh and cruel to anyone who he felt didn’t measure up to his high standards.
Rogers Hornsby had the greatest 5 year stretch in baseball history when he hit .402 for the 5 year stretch covering the seasons from 1921 through 1925. During a 60 day stretch in 1924, Hornsby hit .489.
While Hornsby would frequently tell other players to get a good ball to hit, he rarely took the time to explain the remainder of his hitting philosophy. He did take the time with the young Ted Williams and Williams always believed much of his hitting success over the years was a direct result of his personal hitting instruction from Rogers Hornsby.
Hornsby passed on his hitting secrets to Ted Williams. Ted Williams attempted to pass on these hitting secrets to others in his book The Science of Hitting but didn’t quite succeed in telling the whole story. While Ted intuitively understood the hitting secrets in their entirety, he simply did not succeed in fully explaining them.
I have conducted a 35 year research project to not only understand precisely what these Hornsby-Williams Hitting Secrets actually are, but I have perfected the ability to explain these secrets in simple and easily understandable language.
Now, through the combination of precisely understanding the Hornsby-Williams hitting secrets, specific physical practices, and exact mental rehearsal exercises, my students tap into much deeper levels of their subconscious and superconscious mental faculties.
My unique and extremely powerful form of neuro-physical programming produces within each and every student an ever strengthening neuro-physical blueprint of perfection resulting in ever increasing levels of subconscious and superconscious expression and participation.
This enhanced subconscious and superconscious mental participation naturally produces the very real phenomena commonly referred to as the Zone Experience. For hitters, there is nothing of greater value than being in their zone while at the plate.
I personally experienced my Zone while batting against Ty Stofflet, the world’s best fast pitch softball pitcher in 1974. Ty was clocked at 104 MPH from 46 feet, which is equivalent to 136.78 MPH from 60ft.-6in. Being in the Zone against Ty enabled me to hit 4 line shots in 6 at-bats against him.
While in the zone, the hitter experiences an enhanced form of space-time perception making the action literally appear to slow down. The ball appears to be larger, slower moving, easier to see and hit. Most hitters, at every level, remain unaware of this most powerful information.
While in the zone, the hitter possesses enhanced decision making ability, hand-eye coordination, and precise timing. While in the zone, the hitter performs perfectly, virtually automatically. Without this information, players and teams severely limit their success.
After years of working with numerous baseball and fast pitch softball hitters, talking with high school, college, minor league, and major league coaches and players, I am now firmly convinced that I can teach this most valuable hitting process more effectively than anyone else in America. I can easily prove this too.
All you need to do is hire me for one week at $10,000 per week, plus expenses. You can use me as little or as much as you choose. I will be very effective for you if given at least 2 hours per day for a minimum of 3 days in the same week. All I can promise is that it will be the best investment you can possibly make to maximize your player development efforts and hitting statistics.
Consider me a hitting consultant, not a full time employee. I guarantee my work. Numbers do not lie. If your team batting average is not at least 10 points higher than it was last year, I will refund my fee. With only a reasonable level of support from players and coaches, a .300 or better team batting average should be realized. Contact me via e-mail at bwinwright@hotmail.com.

This is never going to happen.Originally Posted by bwinwright
Your best bet is to start working with clients and get the word out via your success.
SHAZAM!!! For that price, you better thaw Ted and bring him with you to demo your teaching . . . either that or along with your "consulting" . . . plan on painting, re-plumbing, and trimming the trees at my house . . . I'll supply the paint and pipe.
BTW, how's that "study of a multitude of conspiracy theories" been going that you've "devoted the past two years to"?
That may be true, but they sure as hell have a "clue" about when someone is trying to pick their pocket . . .Bruce Winship Wright

I am 58 years old, a college graduate, twice married, have 2 adult children, have played professional baseball, written two books about sports psychology, sold virtually everything for a living, and devoted the past two years to the study of a multitude of conspiracy theories. I now realize the vast majority of people do not have even a hint of a clue about what's really going on in our world.
Bruce today is Thanksgiving, not April Fools Day . . . I hope the timing you teach at the plate, is better than the timing of your posts . . . but thanks for smile, you did add some levity to my day . . .
Happy Thanksgiving to you also . . .
I would like some names and numbers of your clients to contact to verify this statement below. Thanks!!

While browsing through a garage sale one day, I was fortunate to find the personal diary of the greatest hitter who ever lived, Shoeless Joe Jackson, the man who invented the style of batting that was copied by Babe Ruth and every other power hitter since. Not knowing the value of this book, the unsuspecting seller let me have it for only $1.
I walked home dreaming of the millions I would make from teaching my clients the untold secrets that I was about to discover. Unfortunately, I later found out that Shoeless Joe never learned how to read or write and so his diary was filled with nothing but "X"s.
Undaunted, I studied cryptology at the university and found that even though Joe was illiterate, he was unconsciously able to communicate his ideas by how he wrote down the only letter he knew how to write. I discovered that his "dumb hick" act was actually a charade. I found evidence that Jackson was really a member of an advanced alien race sent to earth as a scouting party for a later invasion.
But when Jackson became famous for being a great baseball player, his commander had him framed in the "Black Sox" scandal as punishment for almost blowing his cover. The invasion was called off, and Joe was left behind to spend the rest of his life working in a liquor store.
Although I am probably risking my life by doing this, I am offering to reveal the up to now untold batting secrets of Shoeless Joe Jackson (or should I say his REAL name, Iam Phulash It).
At the extra low price of only $9000 per week, I will teach you how to bat 1.000, hit a home run every time you swing, and never make an error in the field. If you mention "Baseball Fever" when you contact me, I will also send you the secrets I learned from Cy Young's diary, (a $10,000 value) for absolutely free!
Call now! Have your credit card ready! Order takers are standing by! I advise you to contact me NOW, BEFORE agents from the Omega Galaxy shut me down!

It'll be more enticing if you do it the other way. Tell them it's free, but then they have to pay $10,000 + expenses if their team batting average is at least 10 points higher than it was last year.
10 points higher.
Really? Uh, you mean really? Reaaaaaaaally?
Who are your clients, Oly?
What is your fee arrangement?
Or do they just let you hold the camera and watch while they perform?

Consider that if he gets 3 takers that he'll have brought in more money than you 101 hitting dvd.
Just another way to make a buck.
Was that comment to Chris really necessary today? Much like this guys post.
That is nothing more than a mean spirited comment that was totally unwarranted and unprovoked. Reminds me of another individual who used to be allowed on here at one time.
Have a great Thanksgiving. And I do mean that.
The comment wasn't meant to be mean at all. IMO part of CO's interest in this activity is that of a business. Nothing wrong with that IMO.
Now, THAT'S funny!
Yup ... you can't expect to make a nickel from them unless you show some big time results. That means finding actual professional athletes that will let you do things and succeed after doing them.

Even then you're probably not going to make a nickel from people at the ML level. As I've learned, they are used to getting everything for free, because they know that it builds credibility for people
The place to make real money is every level below the major league level.
I charge $1 million. But, I only need one client.
Hornsby taught it to Williams. Williams put it in a book and also taught it to Epstein who also put it into a book and then taught who knows how many...
Hornsby taught Ted Williams what he believed to be the secret to great hitting which is Getting a Good Ball to Hit. Ted centered his entire hitting philosophy on this key fundamental rule.
Not really much of a secret...

Sorry guys, I couldn't resist.
G-MAC that is Genius.
No doubt - heck of an irresistable offer. I mean my C/C is practically busting a move for the phone on it's own. But, I still got to go with the chicken pills. No reading or watching videos, and I'll bet they not only come in a honey BBQ flavor, they probably have been "proven" to reverse male pattern baldness and relieve feminine itching - a real great American family product.Act now and we'll include a free Snuggie.

Thanks for the idea, GMAC. And Shake n Bake's male pattern baldness product is a good one also. Maybe add a bedtime performance enhancer and we will make millions. I could use the bucks since I just got laid off last week.
I wonder if agents from the Omega Galaxy had anything to do with that?
