There are still some Good Guys out there in the sports world……
Working in sports marketing for the majority of my professional life I have been fortune enough to meet a number of athletes. On a daily basis I have the opportunity to work with athletes from all walks of life, whether it is a Hall of Fame baseball player or a current star in the National Football League.
Sometimes working with these athletes can be difficult. Each morning when I turn on SportsCenter I wonder which professional athlete will be the next to be in trouble with the law. Unfortunately, there are too many stories out there like the world’s best golfer involved in a sex scandal or a star NBA player bringing guns into his team’s locker room.
While these athletes give the sports industry a black eye, I am here to tell you that there are still plenty of Good Guys in the sports world.
In Pittsburgh, one of the Good Guys was recently rewarded for his accomplishments on AND off the field. Last month, the Pittsburgh Pirates announced that they will erect a statue of Hall of Famer and World Series Hero, Bill Mazeroski. I can’t think of a better honor for the guy that hit the most famous homerun in World Series history. For years to come as fans flock to PNC Park (hopefully watching a winning team), they will be reminded of what Maz did for the Pirates and the city of Pittsburgh.
Maz is just one of the many of the Good Guys K&A has worked with throughout the years. No matter the event, these Good Guys will go the extra mile for you.
It is our job as “sports advisors” to recommend the Good Guys for our clients’ special events. Next time you need an athlete or celebrity for your event, please let us help you find the right Good Guy.
