July 15, 2010 - South Atlantic League (SAL1)
Hickory Crawdads News Release
HICKORY, NC - Hickory Crawdads Field Manager Bill Richardson, Hitting Coach Jason Hart and INF Joe Bonadonna are featured in a commercial currently running on ESPN. The commercial was produced and shot by ESPN at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park in Charleston, SC earlier in the season, and aired for the first time during the Major League Home Run Derby on Monday evening.
In the spot, Richardson plays the third base coach and Hart serves as the first base coach, and the two engage in a strategic battle through signs against Charleston RiverDogs Field Manager Greg Colbrunn. Colbrunn calls for an attempted pick off of Bonadonna, the runner at second base, but Richardson and Hart see it coming and Bonadonna dives back to second safely.
