Cricket in the USA
Whilst most of the eyes of the cricketing world are turning to the 2009 Ashes Series between England and Australia how many of you known that in the past our American cousins played the game of gentleman? As early as the 1700s, American cricket clubs were established and this was not long after they first appeared in England. Cricket quickly became established as a leisurely pastime. Not long after, eastern Canada developed their own clubs. This acted as a catalyst to both the US and Canadian cricket clubs to go in search of regular competition and it soon led to the first international cricket match. The first Canada vs. USA cricket match has been played annually since the 1840s, and brings upwards...
Dale Gear - Baseballs Best Kept Secret
If you are a die hard fan of the game of baseball then you will want to keep reading. Baseball is not all about the salaries, the championships, the endorsements, and the fan fare. It is also a sport that is deeply rooted in a substantial amount of world history. Yes, I said world history. Many historical events transpired many decades ago within the game of baseball, which helped to shape the civil rights landscape of the United States of America. In 1901 women in the United States were still on the long and hard road to achieving their civil rights under the law. In 1903 the Women's National Trade Union League was created in order to advocate for better wages and working conditions for women. In...

Memorial Day has passed...you know that means 4th of July is right around the corner, right? So let's not procrastinate and end up sitting on the roof hoping to catch a glimpse or a flicker of a firework because you ran out of time to plan a party. Oh wait...that's what I did last year.

Women in baseball...In the early 20th century, barnstorming teams known as Bloomer Girls were formed in parts of the U.S. and took on amateur and semi-professional teams that included both women and men. It is thought that women in baseball first came to be because of an attempt to profit from the "novelty" of female players. In 1931, Jackie Mitchell signed a contract with the minor league Chattanooga Lookouts. Mitchell pitched against the New York Yankees and struck out their two star players, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig!!! Since then, in 1952, organized baseball formally banned women from signing professional contracts with mens teams. This is still in effect today! Women in baseball were about to...

When it comes to baseball training many players will focus on either baseball hitting or baseball pitching. In many cases, you are either a hitter or a pitcher and on the rare occasion, you will succeed at both. When it comes to hitting, you will need to focus on becoming an effective hitter as opposed to what some may call a rusty gate. You will need to be able to train both your eyes and your wrists to work together and allow you to hit the ball. Effective hitting is the ability to hit the ball to all fields for average and power. This is a rare combination even for those players in the major leagues. You have of course those that can hit for average and possess a lot of speed and will be in the...

History Of The Cincinnati Reds
The Cincinnati Reds, even more than most other baseball teams, thrives on the American tradition of baseball. In earlier years, Cincinnati gave way to the first openly professional baseball team four years after Civil War. Cincinnati has been represented by a baseball team since 1881.

We have always consistently emphasized the dramatic increase of arm injuries with youth pitchers. Many of these injuries can be avoided with proper education and healthy, yet competitive environments. I constructed a brief list on missed opportunities coaches and parents have to train their youth to be better all around athletes and pitchers. Pitching Mechanics: Of course this would be first on the list. I travel a lot to different youth baseball games to watch some of the pitchers I work with. I also observe pitchers on opposing teams and I am very aware of the lack of education youth pitchers have about pitching mechanics. It is concerning that so many pitchers throw to throw and don't know how to...

College Baseball Recruitment - Some Tips From a...
What is the first thing that a college coach looks at it when evaluating a prospective high school baseball player? First and foremost, when a college coach is attending a show case or other exhibition game and he is watching players he has never seen before and of who he knows nothing about, he is going to be watching for size and athleticism. Just look at the professional players of today. They are bigger, faster and stronger then they have ever been in the past. A similar situation can be found on college baseball teams today. When a high school player is being watched on the field the college coach may know nothing about the player's grades, reputation, work ethic. So, pure athleticism and size...
What is More Important For Baseball, Running...
A number of years ago I was helping at a local tryout camp for a Major League Baseball Team. We had about 50 attending an open tryout in the area for players ranging in ages from 16-23. I arrived early and helped measure and paint a line for the 60 yard dash. If you have ever been to any type of MLB tryout or even a top baseball showcase, they will always start the day off with a 60 yard dash. That morning was no different. We split the players up into several groups and had them begin stretching, then we started to run them in pairs. At the end of the testing we had a young man that was 23 years old and a recent small college football player that ran a 6.3 second 60 yard dash. If you know anything...

Baseball Instruction is a Good Fit For Tweens
Does your tween engage in enough physical fitness? It is not uncommon to see a young boy fixated on the television screen or engaged in video games, but too much stationary activity can be unhealthy. Regular exercise can be largely beneficial for your young boy. Baseball camps involve hitting, fielding, running, and regular aerobic activity. In addition, baseball drills are headed by experienced professionals who know how to get kids in shape in a safe and fun way. What is your tween doing this summer? Kids can get into an inactive routine once school lets out for the summer. School responsibilities are suspended, so kids have less to do. This can lead to bad habits that may extend into the new...
Claims of reverse discrimination have been around for a while; however, recent events have brought it back into the forefront. With the Supreme Court’s decision regarding the New Haven, CT white firefighters reverse discrimination case, the election of President Obama and the nomination of Sonia Sotomayo, the first Latina to be nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court, some are claiming white men are being discriminated against despite the fact that seven of the nine justices are white men. I recall seeing a photo of then Presidential candidate John Edwards on the cover of Esquire magazine, with the caption, “Can a White man still be President?” There have been 44 Presidents, 43 of them have been...
Top 10 Reasons to Buy a Pitching Machine
As a parent, you want your kids to play sports to stay healthy and to be part of a team. For young kids, one of the most important aspects of any sport is to have fun. If they aren't having fun then they will want to quit. In baseball and softball, one of the funniest moments is at the plate and getting a hit. Some kids have a natural ability to hit the ball even at early ages while others struggle for years trying to become a good hitter. If you are committed to helping your child get the most enjoyment out of the game of baseball/softball then you should consider purchasing a pitching machine. Sure, you can take them to the local batting cage but it doesn't take long before it would be...

The History of Chase Field
Formerly known as BankOne Ballpark, Chase Field officially opened it's doors in 1998. Following a merger with BankOne and J.P. Morgan Chase & Company, the stadium's name officially changed to Chase Field. It's design was created under the architectural insight of Ellerbe Becket and Bill Johnson and construction began in 1995 by Huber, Hunt & Nichols Inc. Upon it's completion, Chase Field was estimated to have cost between $350-400 million. Of that, 68% was derived from a portion of sales tax and the remaining 32% from the owners of the Arizona Diamondbacks themselves. In 1998, the Arizona Diamondbacks entered into what would be a very promising year. As they enjoyed competing at their newly...

What Prospective Independent Professional...
If you want to play independent professional baseball this year, consider the advice from former players, managers, and front office decision makers in independent professional baseball. Do what you can to prepare before you attend any of the independent baseball tryouts so that you give yourself the best odds of being noticed, assuming you have the minimum required level of physical talent and skill. Here are some suggestions: - Go to the individual independent baseball league and team websites in order to determine their requirements for the number of rookies and veterans allowed on any given team roster. Some do not have restrictions; instead some leagues have a salary cap. - Determine if you...
In addition to the expectancy-value model, the idea of self-fulfilling prophecy can also help to explain how the influence of significant others, specifically youth-league baseball coaches, aids in the development and perpetuation of the "Rightfield Syndrome." Self-fulfilling prophecy theory is similar to the expectancy-value model. Self-fulfilling prophecy suggests that coaches form expectations of players' abilities and that those expectations can "prophesize" the development and achievement of the players. The initial process in the self-fulfilling prophecy theory is the youth-baseball coach's forming of expectations regarding the players. The coach's expectations may include judgments based on...
Baseball Coaching Strategies - How to Win a...
"The essence of the game of baseball is SELF-ESTEEM vs. FEAR." Augie Garrido, head coach of 2005 Baseball National Champion Texas University My pen was flying across my notebook last January when Garrido was spilling the beans on the secrets to his success to a couple thousand coaches at the American Baseball Coaches National Convention. SELF-ESTEEM vs. FEAR. That's what it all boils down to for Garrido. He's won national titles before and is one of the winningest coaches in Division I baseball history. I first met Garrido when Ken Ravizza and I were writing Heads-Up Baseball back in '94 and I've admired him ever since. Extremely bright guy, deeply into the mental game. Now here he was talking to...
Key Strategies to Player Development While...
Quick question for baseball coaches (and parents) to get things started: What does the umpire yell at the start of every baseball game? A.) Think ball! B.) Execute ball! C.) Work ball! The answer is no to all three. The umpire yells out "Let's Play ball!" to signify the start of the game. What a wonderful way to start a game. An annoying whistle doesn't blow or an obnoxious horn sound to start the game, rather the ultimate official mandates that both teams PLAY. How can you not love baseball? Allow your kids and players to play the game. I have seen several areas that have taken the "play" out of baseball. Too much pressure can cause fear which takes the "play" out of baseball. Players that have...
Backing Up In The Field In Little League Baseball
While managing or coaching in youth baseball for the last 18 years, I have found that teaching 11 and 12 year olds how to back each other up in the field can help keep them in the game on almost every play. Of course I learned the importance of backing up the hard way over the years, when sure groundouts would translate into a single and three base error. Or, as my older brother Howie would call it, a "Little League Home Run". All youth baseball coaches know what a "Little League Home Run", is right? You know, when the shortstop or third baseman overthrows the ball to first base, followed by yet another overthrow to second or third, allowing the batter to run all the way around the bases to the...
Marketing Among Baseball Players
Introduction Baseball is one of the most well attended and well loved sports in the United States.

Baseball players just like any other players need to market their services to the public, coaches and also to the baseball association.

Coaching Baseball Batters - 3 Common Baseball...
Coaching youth and high school baseball batters requires a watchful eye and close attention to detail. Baseball coaches must identify and correct any flaw in batting hitting mechanics. Players should not be allowed to practice their swing over and over without correcting their mistakes. Good baseball coaches are always on the constant lookout for any bad habits that a young player may develop. Here I discuss three of the most common hitting mechanical flaws and my approach to correcting each. Here are three common mistakes I often see at my baseball camps and when I observe youth games and youth practices. 1) BARRING THE FRONT ARM - The batter locks or stiffens the front arm as the swing begins...
Once you have stepped up to the plate and starred down the pitcher, there is only one weapon of choice, a big stick. Baseball training, good training, leads to great baseball hitting. We all want to hit it out of the park whether it's at a company picnic or with friends doing the baseball pitching for fun.

The techniques for sports meditation are easily learned and...
Great baseball pitching, of course, is needed to counteract great baseball hitting. But there is some difference of perspective among those who are involved in professional baseball training about one of the most fundamental issues regarding baseball pitching mechanics: whether or not one should "stand tall and stay back" when on the mound. Now, pitching coaches generally contrast standing tall against pitchers whom they describe as "drop-and-dive". Drop-and-dive pitchers are represented in the Hall of Fame by such greats as Tom Seaver, Robin Roberts, and Sandy Koufax. But, the conventional wisdom generally adhered to by baseball pitching coaches is that a few Hall of Fame pitchers who had unusual...

Why Use Portable Batting Cages
A regular baseball cage is a must for those who play baseball or even for those people who want their children to be engaged in baseball.

Baseball's Top Movies
Baseball has been such a big part of America for so many years that naturally it has made its way into many different parts of our culture. I enjoyed many different baseball movies as a young child and the following is a brief collection that I would highly recommend to many. These movies are in no particular order.

ADHD, Stimulants, and MLB
Spring Training has just started for professional baseball, while college baseball teams have been at work since January. It is time to get in shape for the 2008 baseball season. I love baseball - always have. I was an "All Conference" pitcher and Captain of my college baseball team. I coached at a University for four years and have coached at the High School level for four more. I was a "bird-dog" scout for the Cleveland Indians and the Texas Rangers for a few years, and I have coached Little League teams forever. My nephew is a pitcher in the Detroit Tigers organization, and a legitimate prospect. Really, I love baseball. But there is a strange and perhaps disappointing story about ADHD and MLB...
