“George Brett’s Secrets of Baseball.” LCA. $14.95. Brett is one of baseball’s best batsmen but he strikes out as a TV host and instructor in this 25-minute guide to hitting. He’s less at fault than the producers, whose interest in so-called “entertainment” value takes precedent over the nuts-and-bolts information. Almost as much time is spent showing Brett driving around in a van, doing his stretching exercises and goofing off in the outfield as in providing insight about that sweet .300-plus swing of his. There are far better instructional baseball tapes available. Information: (213) 444-8187 *
