1996 Australian Under 18 Championships - Sydney

!!--HOME RUN--!!

The Home Run on Video

Notes on this Video - Sharon and I both travelled to Sydney to watch Brett compete in these Championships ... Peter Gahan, the Manager of the Queensland Team, wanted someone to tape the players as they batted and pitched ... these tapes would then be used as aids in future coaching clinics and discussions between Peter and the players ... I volunteered for the job!! ... I was given a 'big-old-style-video-camera' and a tripod and a box of tapes, each one being marked for a particular player ... I was the cameraman and Sharon was the assistant ... and we were kept busy!! ... for example, as a player came in to bat, we put his tape in the camera and hit record ... then before the next hitter came to the plate, the recording had to be stopped, the tape ejected, and the new batter's tape inserted and made ready to go ... as I said, we were kept very busy!! ... but it all worked out okay and we finished with quite a bit of footage for each team member

The following video shows Brett's three run home run ... as mentioned, the camera was fixed on a tripod and focused on the batter's box, so it was very difficult to follow Brett around the bases ... but the result is pretty good and a great souvenir!! ... after the "celebration" at home plate, the video goes blank for a second or two ... then there is a bit more and this is ??? ... watch it and see!!
