Ef, you raise a valid point on "Bigger is better". I've always preached a short compact swing, the key to that is quick hands. If you can keep your hands back and and see the ball in the strike zone as long as possible, good things will happen. Alwa…

If you haven't heard of this kid, then you don't follow big things happening in baseball, College baseball. I just spoke to him and he can't join as of now because of all that is going on with him but he will as soon as he can. If you can just read this description of him for "Best Male College Athlete ESPY Award" and vote for him as I did, it would be really appreciated.

Wooden bat league for American Legion

I posted this in the American Legion group on Nov. 19 with no response. So I will post this on a blog. I would like to ask all of the American Legion coaches/players how many of you play in a wooden bat league or are trying to start one? I was thinking of bring it up at are first meeting to switch to a wooden bat league and would like to show how many teams do play in wooden bat league around the country. Please let me know.

Thanks,
Jim

Hey Jim, thanks for the friend add. I see it says in your profile that you scout baseball. Who are you a scout for? I'm a senior in college and I'm looking at playing professionally after I graduate.

Thanks for following up with me. Just keep me posted because we have some great youth options and new product options coming in the 2010 year.

Hi Jim, I sent you some information on wood bats that you were looking into earlier. I was just wondering if you were still looking because we have some new bats coming in 2010.

Hi Jim. I remember when aluminum bats first came out. I was a reluctant convert. There's nothing like the feel of hitting a ball solid with a wood bat. I can't believe the cost of them today. Back when I was young, a good, solid wood bat should cost between $11 and $16 dollars. Not so today. Best wishes in your coaching my friend. deland cochran, College Park, GA, American Legion Post 50, 1975-76
