    USSSA approved drying agent

    Had an umpire couple weeks ago tell a pitcher she could not have anything sticking out of her pocket that was not part of the uniform. Didn't tell her she couldn't use it, just that it could not be visible outside of the pocket.

    Statement from USSSA on age cutoffs

How high should the ball be over the head, how bent should the elbow be when you get to 12. Should it look more like a circle with hand extended way above the head or more like an...

    First time Ghost Dad

    It has a year warranty, use it then when it cracks send it back and get another one. When they are young you need to size up every year or two any way, which should be just about the time the replacement bat is broken.
