    Gloves...when do you know it's time for a new one??

    Two ACs, one on each of the two teams I coach has the gloves they used in high school and they still work great. They might have dirt on them from 25 years ago but they still work fine. If it feels good and all the parts are there then it comes back to personal preference. I know my glove...

    Any good videos on bunting?

    I found an easy way to help teach the bunt. I took an old wooden bat and cut down the barrel basically removing half of the barrel lengthwise. Now they can see if they are doingit right because if they don't use the bottom of the bat on the top of the ball it flips over the bat. I used the...
