Man Among Boys: Behind-the-Scenes on Adrian Gonzalez’ Shock Grip Video Shoot

Posted on Tue, May 27, 2014

After traveling across the country, going 3-4 at the plate with a two-run homer and a double, most would succumb to jet lag and enjoy a relaxing morning before gearing up for round two. Well, that was not the case for MISSION’s newest athlete, Adrian Gonzalez of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Adrian spent last Wednesday morning hanging out with our team and 20 excited little leaguers to shoot a video for MISSION Shock Grip, a shrink-to-fit grip for baseball bats that reduces shock and enhances grip. (Expect the full video to hit the Internet in mid-June!)

While we loved having Adrian in our spotlight, many of his best moments were off camera. He met all 20 of his co-stars before we starting filming, and took time to take photos with the  crew of little sluggers.

It’s safe to say that the local teams from Rye Brook and Yonkers stole the spotlight at times! Not only did they hit it out of the park with their acting chops, they were real champs when it came to spending all day out in the hot sun. Of course, they rocked  MISSION EnduraCool towels on set to keep refreshed!

For a one-day shoot, we assembled an All-Star squad and are glad to have Adrian as a part of the Mission Athletecare team.

Check out some more pics from the day!
