Edge Power Gloves The Edge is a variable weighted glove designed to increase hitting power and improve arm strength. Pitchers: This is the only training device that strengthens while the wearer is doing nothing more than throwing. Batters: Some players gain 3 to 7 mph to their bat speed simply from wearing these gloves! Coach JP: This game is about arm, bat and foot speed. These gloves will help you improve the first two quickly & efficiently. I am so convinced that if you do not see improvement in your arm speed and strength, call me and I will take them back (though I would like your feedback). I am that sure they will make you a better, stronger player! Best Buy Hitting CD Quality at Bats CD Everyone says baseball is 90% mental...Then why do we work on it less than 10% of the time? After 14 season in professional baseball, Steve Springer's breakthrough CD has helped players learn the most important part of hitting: the mental side. Coach JP: If this many people see the unbelievable advantage in owning this audio CD, I decided we had to offer it again! Same special savings as our earlier newsletter. We now have it available in audio cassette too! Every serious baseball player of age 14 and above should own it!

Baseball Quotes, Wit & Wisdom

A hitter's impatience is the pitcher's biggest advantage.   Pete Rose If you make a mistake away, it's a single. If you make a mistake inside, it's a home run.   Tim McCarver The phrase "off with the crack of the bat," while romantic, is really meaningless, since the outfielder should be in motion long before he hears the sound of the ball meeting the bat.   Joe DiMaggio Managers don't win games. They prepare players to win games.   Dick Williams

Baseball’s Believe It or Not

The First Fan Appreciation Night In 1948, a 26-year old night watchman and World War II veteran by the name of Joe Early wrote to Cleveland Indians owner Bill Veeck to ask why the average fan never had a “Day.” The innovative Veeck, known as the "P.T. Barnum of Baseball", responded by staging a “Good Old Joe Early Night” on September 28. A crowd of 60,405 showed up at Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium, where Early was presented with an outhouse, a backfiring Model T, and some livestock. After the gag gifts, Veeck surprised Early even further by giving him a Ford convertible, appliances, and a watch. Following the festivities, the Indians beat the White Sox 11-0. The game itself was an important one and the victory improved the Tribe’s record to 94-56. Less than one week later the Indians beat the Red Sox in a one-game playoff to win the A.L. pennant. They then knocked off the Boston Braves in six games to win the World Series. Since 1948 there has not been an individual fan night, and the year marked the last time Cleveland has won the World Series.
