World Series Champion Lou Piniella Reveals 3 Similarities in Baseball & Business
Posted by Evan Heby, Service Industry Marketing Manager
World Series Champion Lou Piniella is no stranger to big league wins.
From playing baseball to coaching to broadcasting, the star has 46 years of Major League Baseball experience under his belt. Fans know him as “Sweet Lou,” the nickname he earned from his smooth, sweet swing during his playing days.
His wealth of experience has given him perspective on the correlation between business and sports, which he recently talked about at NetSuite’s Grow Live event in Seattle.
“You got to have talent, leadership, you got to have discipline, you have to be very competitive and then you got to be smart,” Piniella said. “Those are the same things we look for in sports and that’s what we were talking about here in the business world.”
