First of all, I want to thank everybody for
their support over the years at Core Softball. I made a lot of friends on here
and most of the people on here are really great folks. It has been all my pleasure
getting to know a lot of you, talking with everybody, helping whoever I could with anything I could.
And also, to all the people that helped me with finding A LOT of deserving kids to give bats to over the last
few years, it was awesome and thanks for helping with that.

Ok, DFP...asking for a favor. As most know we are being pushed out of business by Wilson
so that the rich can get richer. So they can drive full blown retail
sales to their big money stores, trying to squeeze their fastpitch
cash cow market for as much money as they can get from you for bats.

Now Im not living in a dream world, I know for many people I was just
a guy to get bats from and save a few bucks...haha. Nor do I expect this
to change any stuffed suit's decision. But I would really appreciate as many people on here
as I can get to send an email to these parties just voicing your opinion and support for
Core. One time, telling corporate greed that ruining someone's business...who actually cared
about the sport, cared about customers and the kids playing...just to fill pockets is complete
BS. Please send to your email to all these parties so one guy just doesn't delete
all of them. Its been tough finding emails. Nobody seems to want to help
with that at Wilson right now...haha

rob.piscetta@wilson.com , amer.communications@amersports.com ,
rafal.gancarczyk@amersports.com , stefanie.siam@wilson.com and whoever
else you may find.

Trying to look into every possible avenue to keep the doors open but not real optimistic at this
point.

If a miracle happens and they get enough emails and actually grow a heart and change
their minds, I would def do something special for the board and the great folks on here

Rob/Stefanie/Rafal,
I would like to take a moment to express my displeasure with your decision to eliminate Core Softball as a bat vendor. I have purchased several bats from Todd at Core Softball and have recommended Core Softball to all my daughters fastpitch friends and teammates. It is invaluable to have someone who is knowledgeable about their product and cares about their customers. I love supporting small businesses that are the backbone of our country and I hope that you will reconsider your decision.

Sincerely,
Bud

Have you considered going to the media? Getting a story with the local news having them inquire with Wilson on why they are forcing a small business out might gain some traction.

Can we provide a little more information when emailing to make sure they know who we mean? i.e. Core Softball out of "city/state"

Or will they know your account if we just say Core Softball?
