Charley Lau
Charley Lau would become one
name that every baseball player
remembered from 1978 to his
death in 1984. Even today just
mention the name Charley Lau
to any baseball player and
coach from little league on up
and I guarantee you a reaction.
His number # 1 protégé, most
famous and successful player, that
Lau coached was George Brett.
Charley Lau was coaching with
the Kansas City Royals.
In 1980, George Brett's batting
average of .390 came SO close
to breaking Ted Williams record
of batting .400.
George Brett's life time batting
average in the majors of .305 is
testament that Lau's theory's
on hitting definitely helped
George Brett.
Sports writers were very critical of
Charley Lau's training of George
Brett going as far as calling his
hitting style "helicopter".
To this author what makes a great
coach is one who gets their
student to place every ounce of
energy directed towards the goal
of being the best in the sport for
that moment and time in life.
I have read BOTH
of Charley Lau's books;
"The Art of Hitting .300"
and
"The Winning Hitter: How to
Play Championship Baseball"
Charley Lau would even be a
movie as "Charley Lau", hitting
coach for the Chicago White Sox;
"Max Dugan Returns".
This was Matthew Broderick's first
major film role in Hollywood.
Further comments about the
influence that Charley Lau had on
baseball will be in my book.
