Has 110 swings with Evil BP balls from a tee. No hits from live pitching. No cracks, webbing, or rattles – just a few ball marks. Original grip fully intact - two shades in the picture because I had the bottom of the handle taped when I used it but no tape residue left behind. Weight is right...

Would never expect you to. Why so defensive? I wasn’t criticizing your approach to umpiring, nor did I ask for an explanation. I was giving you a complement. Don’t sweat a blown call and it’s nice to see that you strive to get better and make an effort to get things right. I agree, players do...

I applaud your efforts. Players definitely appreciate umpires who care about making the correct calls and put in the effort to do the best job they can. Effectively communicating like you do goes a long way. Players shouldn't expect umps to be perfect or change calls, but it's the umps who act...

Good story. In the heat of the moment, a lot of players will automatically argue any close call. But once it's over they tend to cool down. I've never lost sleep over a blown call. But an umpire who admits he was wrong? Asks players if he missed a call? I can tell that you don't umpire in my...

In 20 years I've never heard of an umpire ever checking bats prior to a league game.

We have 36 people so far - $900 payout. Two days left to join. Would really like to get this up to $1000.

Nicely done! I suspect a few people on here will now be wishing that you were their dad.

I'd never heard that before. But according to woodbat.org they say the same thing so maybe you're not lying about maple. That could possibly explain why the number of broken bats skyrocketed in MLB a few years ago when everyone started switching to maple. They were probably still swinging with...

Not in my experience. A couple of months ago I was in the market for new BP balls. My girlfriend knew this so she bought these 4 white Worth Official Softballs 44/375 that she found at a garage sale for 25 cents a piece. (She's so thoughtful.) They were used but hardly had any marks on them and...

Make sure that you are making contact against the edge of the grain, or what people refer to as "label up" at contact. When I used wood bats in baseball, they would break very easily if you made contact on the wrong side of the bat.

3 times I've been part of a 5-4-3 ground ball triple play while playing 2nd base. Each time runners were on 1st and 2nd. Ground ball to the 3rd baseman. He steps on 3rd for the force, throws to me on 2nd, and I turn and gun to 1st. And these were not slow runners at the plate. They were...

I remembered rule 8-7-F “every base runner is awarded two bases from last base occupied”, but since B/R was called safe at first base when the ball was still live, I wasn’t sure if 1st base then counted as his last occupied base when the ball finally rolled out of play. This situation is...
