NakamuraTalkin' Baseball with Bobby Valentine
On January 21, 2010, I was lucky enough to witness a speech given by Bobby Valentine. As a baseball fan, I knew that he would know more about what he was talking about than anyone else in the room. I was right. Not only did he know what he was talking about, he blew my mind. To put it simply, the man is a genius. I have never met Bud Selig, but from what I heard come out of Bobby's mouth, he should be commissioner. He doesn't just know every bit about the game on the field there is to know. He also shared his secrets about public relations, general managerial decisions and advice he would give owners.
I paid a measly 15 dollars to hear him speak at the Japanese Society Building in New York. Knowing the words he spoke, the lessons he taught and the effect he has created in the next few years of my life, I would have paid $500. Valentine is a genius. No. He's BEYOND genius. I would give up my heart to receive his brain and the knowledge and wisdom he carries with it.
And the attitude you see on television is no fake personality. In reality, he is still a bright man that seems to always be enthusiastic no matter what situation is presented in front of him. All in all, he is an amazing guy, an even better role model, and my new idol. His speech was rather long, but very informative. So I'm going to break this blog into many, many parts. This was just an introduction. Hope you enjoy!
