A week or so after the One on One featuring David Eckstein debuted I saw David down at the field during batting practice.
He came up to me and thanked me for returning their pictures and giving them a copy of the show. He said he probably won’t watch it until later, because that’s “just how I am” during the season. And said that he really appreciated it, that his family loved it and he and Ashley have heard all kinds of positive things about the show.
In fact… he said when they returned from the road trip, he went down to sign autographs as usual. And while he was there, a few kids came up to him and gave him something. I’m paraphrasing what he said: “They told me, because you always sign for us, we wanted to give you something you like. And they gave me some Nintendo games… because they had seen it in the show that I like to play Nintendo. That was really, really cool.”
David was so touched. I asked if I could share the story and he said yes.
I was touched too. It made me feel good that he felt good and that those kids actually watched the show, paid attention to the details (the part about autographs, David’s favorite old Nintendo games) and then, they came up with an idea of giving back… and then actually followed through.
Good going guys. Keep it up.
An example of how television can have a positive impact. Stay tuned.
