Life Outside Sports
McGriff has appeared in commercials for Tom Emanski Baseball Training videos on ESPN since 1991, which are still aired to this day on the network (one of television's longest running commercials ever). In the ad, McGriff deadpans the merits of the videos while wearing a "Baseball World" mesh cap perched high atop his head. Fred McGriff is the only current retired recipient of the Wampum Willy Award. Currently, McGriff hosts a radio show in Tampa and is the head baseball coach at Jesuit High School of Tampa.
