You're thinking in the right direction, but you're not taking it far enough. The question was "how would you move mt. fuji?", not "how would the sun's gravitanioal pull move mt. fuji?"
Now, the technically correct answer would be to say that you'd engage all the available rocket scientists on the face of the earth to build a giant satelite, that you would then proceed to launch into orbit. The satelite would then be positioned right above Redmond, from whence it'd be hurled at maximum speed into the earth's atmosphere. The ensuing collision would alter earth's orbit just enough for you to claim that you moved mt. fuji. Not to mention the side benefits.. They'd hire you in a snap!
Also, while I'm not a fan of pro sports myself, I think it's kind of cheap of you to characterize pro baseball players as guys who just "hit balls with sticks." That's like saying that a programmer is just a guy who punches keys.
When guys who "hit balls with sticks" contributes anything to society, other than profusive beer-gut-syndrome, you might have a point...
