Former Yankee Advocates for Music Education

Former New York Yankees outfielder Bernie Williams has become one of the music industry's newest advocates for the power of music education. Williams joined NAMM and Progressive Music on Capitol Hill in May advocating for music education. This interview with ABC News' TopLine shows Williams talking about his two passion - music and baseball.



Williams recently joined the industry last week at the Summer NAMM trade show. Williams has two CD's out, has been nominated for a Latin Grammy award and has a new book out. Williams is the perfect example of how athletics and music can co-exist and how athletics and music can be beneficial to all of us.
