It's Time Once Again For the Boys of October to...
It's time once again for the Boys of October to shine. Both the National League and the American League of Major League Baseball are working to determine champion teams that will compete beginning October 22 in the World Series. For some baseball fans, the season may be as good as finished. If your team had a season skirting the toilet bowl, you may be just as happy to move on to football or hockey - or heck, another big sport which is just beginning its competitive season: figure skating. If you're fortunate enough to have a team that's still in it, so to speak, you are probably employing all your DVR technical skills to ensure you don't miss a minute of the big games that make our[..]
Why Is The Catcher So Improtant To Youth Baseball?
Hello, Teaching a player to be a solid catcher is an area most youth baseball coaches do not cover enough. In a practical sense, most coaches do not devote enough time to produce quality catchers. The responsibility for this does fall on the coach, usually because most youth baseball coaches lack a catching background. At youth levels 8 through 10 years old catching is not as critical, so it is somewhat ignored. A good catcher is always noticed during the game. It is a pleasure to watch a quality catcher. It really does speed up the game, not having those countless trips to the backstop to retrieve passed balls. Developing a quality catcher takes special training and time that[..]
One critical key to a successful baseball player is knowing what to do before the time for action arises. As a youth baseball coach you need to teach your players to think: Focus on teaching them baseball rules and strategies. I question if these goals would appear on many coach's radars. During my seasons of coaching, a lot of coaches do not make this a priority. However, if asked, most coaches will agree that this is one of the most important goals. When a youth ballplayer realizes the proper play at any given time, they will not need to be reminded in the future each and every time the given play occurs. Therefore, the player will get a greater enjoyment out of the game, due to their[..]
Getting Recruited to Play College Baseball -...
Effective August 1st, 2008 the NCAA has instituted some new rules that dramatically impact your future as a college baseball player and you MUST understand exactly how these changes will affect you and your recruitment efforts. The NCAA has come under some amount of criticism for these latest changes because they believe it will limit their ability to attract and retain talented athlete-students to their baseball programs. Already hampered by having only 11.7 scholarships to award to more than 30 players each season, the NCAA has approved legislation that will dictate how those scholarships are awarded. Not all scholarships are full in baseball. Usually, a coach will divide his 11.7[..]
It is the individual who applies himself as an academic student in the classroom and it is the individual who is performing as a baseball player. WBP believes that a prospective high school baseball player (9 -12) must have the proper individual developmental and recruitment planning formula in place. His own personal dedication, desire and passion will carve out his path that he takes through high school to college and beyond.Our goal at Worldwide Baseball Prospects is to empower, coach, direct and mentor the prospective high school baseball player (grade 9 - 12) with college academic and baseball aspirations and his parents through the various stages of high school development and[..]
For more than a century boys and girls have been playing baseball. From Little League to the Majors, baseball is undoubtedly one of America's favorite pastimes. For youth all the way to High School level baseball there is often a need to supplement what the school and parents can provide in the way of money with a fundraiser. Baseball can seem like it's just 9 players with gloves, at least one bat, and a ball. But as the game has become more competitive, the costs associated with remaining at the top of a players game have increased. From technologically advanced bats and gloves to expert coaching, baseball can be a very expensive sport. In the past, most baseball teams relied on[..]
BaseBall - A Fans Views And Thoughts On The...
I have been a fan of baseball for more then thirty five years. I have enjoyed seeing some of the greatest baseball players that have ever played our great game of baseball. I as a fan believe that most players are clean and free of all drugs. As a fan I believe that there will always be some players in any sport that are will to risk their career to take steroids to try and make them better then they are. I think that baseball players have to work with owners to assure fair play for all teams. I have enjoyed baseball all my life. I believe that as a fan baseball players should all make sure that their game is played fairly by all ball players.Taking steroids or other illegal substance[..]
Baseball Strength Training During The...
The teachings of baseball instruction and baseball strength training before the 1920s were crucial in the beginning years of America's pastime. In a time when homeruns were not nearly as popular as they have been in the last ten years, the "dead ball" era was a time of brilliant coaches using chess type baseball strategies and specific strength training. Before the emergence of Babe Ruth, hit and run plays, sacrifice flies, bunts, and stolen bases ruled the game of baseball. Baseball strength training was of major importance for the game. Keep in mind this was a day and age when you could turn that chopper to the second basemen into a single with the utilization of speed. Why?[..]
How to Break your New Baseball Glove
The game of baseball continues to fascinate North Americans as they watch and participate in the game of baseball. More and more people are playing baseball than ever before. And this means buying a new baseball glove, which isn't often an easy task. A new baseball glove is stiff and hard to bend when you first buy it. This means that you need to break in your new glove so that it fits your hand and gives you the game that you want to have, without fumbling with your new glove. However, buying a new glove doesn't mean that it's going to take you a long time to break it in. There are some things that you can do to speed up the process of breaking in your new glove. One of the first[..]
Not everyone knows the finer details of the game of baseball and, of course, many do not care to be baseball coaches or experts. Everyone has there own interests and that is fine. However, that does not mean you cannot say helpful things to young ballplayers. Using this one word will make one sound like a baseball expert and sound like you really know the game of baseball. As a baseball instructor over the past 21 years there is one word that I believe I have said more than any other word. This word is revealed below. If you would like a hint, think of the first thing that you teach your dog to do? You guessed it - stay. Using the word "stay" with most any baseball term gives instant,[..]
Choosing Your Baseball Bats
From the time small children are old enough to hold a baseball bat many have longed to be part of the great American pastime. Baseball bats have been around ever since the game was created and there are baseball museums that have collections of baseball bats owned and used by famous players. When kids first start to play the game of baseball they use a plastic bat. There are plastic baseball bats made today for the youngest of ballplayers and some even have baseball teams or players names on them. As children get older and more serious about the game they find there are choices to be made about which bat to buy. Baseball bats come in many widths, lengths and materials. A heavier bat[..]
Tee Ball is the very first experience that most baseball players have with the game of baseball. There are physical skills that must be learned. There are mental aspects of the game that must be learned. But, there is no more important elements of the game that a player must learn than the basic rules of the game that provide safety and protection for the players, coaches and umpires involved. There are certain basic baseball rules that tee ball players must be taught before they play their first game. The sooner young players learn these rules, the better. Here are what I consider to be the very first rules a player should be taught when being introduced to the game of baseball. Those 6[..]
A Brief History Of Baseball
-- End Ad Box ---> A Short Baseball History The game of baseball is said to have begun in the early 19th century, but that's just half the truth. The game was played much before but the first baseball clubs were formed around that time. An Englishman named Alexander Cartwright in the year 1845 devised the first set of rules baseball. In fact, many of the rules listed out then are still used in the game. In the year 1858, a group of amateur players came together to form the first baseball league - known as the National Association of Baseball Players. Right from the first year, the National Association of Baseball Players began charging for admission to baseball games. At the turn of the[..]
Derek Jeter's mental approach to baseball is one that every player, coach and parent should take notice of. He is a true American Sports Hero yet he does not consider himself bigger than the game itself. His words and quotes reflect his attitude, his commitment, and his love of the game. What can all baseball coaches learn from Derek Jeter's mental approach to the game? He is one of the most "decorated" Major League baseball players in the past decade. But, more impressive than his talent is his ability to keep the game in proper perspective mentally. He is humble. He knows how important the game is to him. He appreciates the opportunity he has to play the game and he considers it an[..]
History of the American League Designated Hitter
In 1973, Major League Baseball was stirred up by the introduction of the designated hitter rule. This rule was basically conceptualized with the acknowledgment that the pitchers are the weakest batters in the whole team. This rule therefore allows baseball teams to designate a player to bat in lieu of the pitcher. This player is known as the designated hitter and can be anybody from the team. Although the game of baseball has undergone a lot of changes since its inception in the 1880's, there are some professional leagues that are not very open to the adaptation of these changes, including the designated hitter rule. Perhaps, this rule has aggravated a lot of doubts regarding the purpose[..]

An elementary student who first showed an interest in baseball and basketball, Michael Vick later developed his love of football. Born in June 1980, this Newport News, Virginia native is now the quarterback for the NFL's Atlanta Falcons. In his early teens, Vick became involved in football as his choice after-school activity. At that time, he seemingly gave up all other sports in order to concentrate on football. Through high school, his love of football flourished and carried over into his college years. Attending Virginia Teach, Michael Vick gained instant stardom as a collegiate player with 3 rushing touchdowns during his first game. With the help of Vick, the Virginia Tech Hokies[..]
ROLL OF THE DICE When people go to Vegas, they know the odds are against them and there is little likelihood of beating the house. But, in professional sports, delusions of outsmarting the system run rampant. Billionaire owners bet millions on the hope that teenagers and twenty-somethings will pay huge dividends. So, can there be a bigger gamble than drafting college athletes? Anyone who's ever gone to college knows that distractions are as big a part of campus life as the education apparatus. So, dedication, even among the most focused of students can be a fleeting thing. Add in the the atmosphere surrounding most student-athletes, and you'll probably get someone who's more "monkey[..]
I had written an article a little over a week ago titled, "Who Wants To Play Quarterback?...Not It!" That article basically summed up the struggles that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have gone through for so many years, especially at the quarterback position. All of the players who have played quarterback for the Buccaneers, have not only struggled, but according to most, have played well below their level of talent. It has almost been a position that has seemed to be cursed and plagued for failure. In my previous article, ("Who Wants To Play Quarterback?...Not It?") I had brought attention to the fact that this year had started off no different. I had also stated that the Buccaneers had[..]
Baseball coaches won't make a player a designated hitter unless their batting average proves that they're able to hit the home run! Likewise, banks and credit card companies won't lend money to people unless there's proof that they'll repay the loan. Lenders look for that proof in your credit score, the "batting average" of your overall credit history. What's in your credit score? It's much more than a number attached to your credit report. It's an important piece of financial information that lenders look at when deciding whether or not you are a worthy investment. You need to build the highest credit score possible to prove to banks and credit card companies that you'll repay the[..]
A few years ago, a friend of mine decided that it was time to teach his six year old son to run by jogging to the end of the block and back. His theory is that we are designed, physiologically, to be able to run and run well. We have an instinct called the "Fight-or-Flight" response, which sends adrenaline to our muscles so that we can escape a dangerous situation or defend ourselves if running away isn't possible. That instinct is honed in us for most of our lives. After thinking on it for a while, he decided that people do need to be taught how to run. As silly as it may sound at first, there is some level of skill involved in regulating your pace, your breathing, your body position[..]
Why Coaching?
As a business and life coach I say of course coaching. But just like you, not that long ago I was new to the idea of coaching. I thought -- why coaching? What I have discovered in my own coaching work with clients and with my coaches is this: coaching works. Clients gain different things from coaching. To distill it down to a few areas they would be: focus, clarity, accelerated accomplishment and follow-through. I always thought of coaches as baseball coaches or football coaches. Since I don't play sports, what could I possibly work on with a coach and would it really make a difference? The goals that clients work on with coaches run the gamut: * starting a new business * business[..]
There is much more to baseball hitting than meets the eye. When it comes to this technique, it is imperative that body and mind work together in order to achieve the best hitting results. When you love to play baseball, your goal will be to become a better hitter. Each individual will have their own opinion and give you their advice and hitting tips. Take all of the advice on board and eliminate everything that does not fit your hitting style. Try different variations of hitting, stances, approaches and hitting drills. If something in particular suits you, then keep it; if it doesn't, then eliminate it. There will always be something that can be improved. However, listed below is some of[..]

Better Baseball Hitting
Many people seem to believe that baseball hitting at a high performance level is just some natural athletic ability that some people have while most people don't. But excellent baseball hitting requires excellent baseball training in the science and art of batting. It's true that some natural abilities are needed in order for one to have the potential to become an excellent hitter in baseball. For instance, a .400 hitter will never be unless he's got superior eyesight, so that he's able to pick up the ball from the earliest point in the pitcher's delivery and then read the spinning of the seams in great detail. And, yes, there does need to be a natural gift for basic hand-eye[..]

Albert Pujols Vs. Babe Ruth
Albert Pujols, is he the best pure hitter to ever play the game of baseball? Baseball fans everywhere have talked with their friends or heard this question on sports talk radio. In this article, we will go over some of the factors of why people are talking so much about this. Now, Babe Ruth is known to many as being the best hitter, and/or the best baseball player ever. Is that true? I'm not sure; I've never seen him play. Baseball players today are bigger, stronger and have better equipment so it is unfair to compare the different eras. Would Babe Ruth have made it in this era drinking before games and eating hotdogs during the 7th inning stretch? It would be interesting to watch, but[..]
The Top 5 NL Cy Young Contenders in 2009
This has been one of the better seasons of baseball pitching in recent memory, and it's an exciting time to be a baseball fan. Let's have a look at the pitchers leading the charge in the National League, to see who may have a shot at the coveted Cy Young award. Dan Haren (11-7, 2.59 ERA, 0.89 WHIP). With the lowest WHIP in baseball, Dan Haren has been lights out for most of the season, limiting his opposition to a .202 batting average and pitching the majority of his games having given up 5 hits or less all season. Haren was arguably the best pitcher in baseball for most of the season, having had a 1.96 ERA as recently as July 18th. Lately, it hasn't been all great for Haren, who's given[..]
Now is the time for all good Chicago Cubs fans to purchase their 2007 World Series futures, before numbers plummet as they always and quickly do. Actually, the same advice could apply to backers of many Major League Baseball teams, though odds on some inevitably will rise rather than drop. It's just that long-suffering Cubs boosters are, like their beloved, retired Hall of Fame shortstop Ernie Banks, eternal optimists. When futures are posted, Cubs fans usually are first in line at the betting windows and their numbers are legion. The Las Vegas Hilton on Tuesday set futures for next year's Fall Classic, even before the National League rep in this year's World Series has been determined,[..]

Tree Faces - Add Character to Your Backyard...
One backyard decoration that is increasingly popular is a tree face. These are sometimes known as a forest face, but the concept is a simple one. These decorations are added to one or more of your trees, and they consist of a barebones face, with a set of eyes, a nose, and a mouth. These are large enough to be seen from across the yard, and come in a huge variety of styles and characters. These tree faces are usually quite easy to put up. A few nails spaced to put the eyes and eyebrows apart from the nose and mouth, and some come with a template to make the spacing easy to do. One favorite use for tree faces is for seasonal or holiday decorations. A natural fit is the Halloween faces,[..]
Small-Ball, Long-Ball, and Push-or-Fold - Which...
You will find in many of today's poker books that there are discussions and mentions of three strategic styles of tournament play - small-ball, long-ball, and push-or-fold. In case you are having trouble visualizing these strategies, and fitting their pieces together, here is an article that might help in answering the question - which strategy is best? First of all, the mental images that these strategies might conjure are quite accurate. In baseball, small-ball is about the infield plays - bunts, base hits, stealing bases. Which you can think of as similar to small-ball poker tactics. Basically, all of the small risk plays that can add up to a score, so to speak. Long-ball[..]

If you are like most companies, when you hear the term Centers of Influence, you automatically think of lawyers, accountants, or insurance agents. However, that is a very narrow definition of the word Center of Influence or COI. A modern day company focused on retaining companies as their customer tends to expand the definition of center of influence and begin to think of all businesses and business owners as centers of influences. However, even if you expand the definition in your head, how do you go about capturing and utilizing your centers of influence? Following three key ideas will help you retain more customers by capitalizing on already existing centers of influence. It is Not[..]
t used to be simple; a bat was one piece of wood, aluminum or composite. How things have changed! Two piece bats are now extremely popular and seem to be the trend for the foreseeable future. Easton, Demarini and Nike have long championed the two-piece design. Demarini and Nike have held fast to this philosophy while Easton has branched out to make bats in almost all designs in an effort to appeal to everyone. They say the major benefit of a two piece bat is that it gives more flex to the barrel at the point of contact and, therefore, increases the trampoline effect (see photo of bat after the point of contact). This should not be confused with handle flex (or whip action). Handle flex[..]
Top Things to Do in Phoenix
When people think of Phoenix, usually two things come to mind, dry heat and desert terrain. However, Phoenix and the surrounding areas have much more to offer than just warm weather. It is a culturally charged, active city filled with tons of interesting places to experience, must-see sites and action galore. Phoenix is a city that has something for every taste.

The Best Price For Softballs
Buying softballs is similar to purchasing most other things. Knowing the actual type and size is most important as Softball leagues tend to favour one specific model over others. You must be careful not to buy balls just because they are of top quality or because they are on sale. What a shame it would be if one made that type of purchase and then could not use them because of their league rules. Another good reason to obtain the correct softballs is that it is best to use the same ones when playing the game or at practice. It's easy to make a bad throw and by playing the same softballs all the helps to prevent this type of error. Before buying softballs you need a very basic but[..]
School Event Ideas to Create School Spirit
Using events to generate school spirit is a great way to attract involvement from the students, faculty, and parents. There are many ways in which to inspire school spirit. Most events may revolve around the athletics associated with the school, but there are activities such as fundraisers, school gear, and competitions that can be used in place of events. The most obvious school event to build spirit is a pep rally. This usually involves the cheerleaders and the football team, but it can also be a way for all athletics to participate. Pep rallies during the fall months could include all the fall athletic teams while the same can be done in the spring. One way to get more teams involved[..]
Make Money With Sports Betting - 1 Strategy...
Winning at Sports Betting. I have been a subscriber of the Sports Betting Champ's selections for two years now. When I first heard of his 97% win record I was skeptical. Who wouldn't be? But when you become aware of how he does it, you can see it is possible and enjoy that win ratio too. The Champ is a doctor of statistics. You know, if you flip a coin enough times it will land 50% heads and 50% tails. But if you were to alter the weight of the tails side and spin it on its end it will drop down tails more often than heads. What the good doctor has done is found the times when certain criteria cause a team to win over 95% of the time. It sounds crazy, but there are circumstances that[..]

MLB Baseball Theme Party For Sports Fans
MLB Baseball is the supreme level of professional baseball.

As discussed in "Not in Our House! A Decade of Home Court Advantage in American Sports" there is much less home advantage in baseball than in basketball or football, during regular season play. Major League Baseball teams, on average, win about 54% of their home games and 46% of their away games during the regular season. When I do presentations on home court advantage I'm often asked, "What about the playoffs?" Well, let's see what happens in the World Series. The MLB World Series pits the National League champion against the American League champion in a 7-game series. One of the teams - let's call it Team A - hosts the first two games of the series at its home ball park. The next[..]

Keeping Up With Sports Action on the 4G...
For the sports fan, there are few developments in technology that aren't welcomed with open arms. If there is a new way to access the internet without limitations, that means there are going to be more ways to follow the games. Could a baseball or basketball game on a cell phone really fill the void for a sports fan? In a pinch, that will have to do, but the coverage on a laptop is almost like watching television. Here are some ways to use the 4G wireless internet network to follow your favorite teams. Checking in with big games while at the office: There are not too many days in which you will be able to ignore your responsibilities to watch your team play. Unfortunately, baseball teams[..]
The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox Rivalry
There are many great rivalries across the spectrum of sports, but the one between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox is in a league of its own. The history between these two fabled baseball teams is too extensive to give proper consideration in a brief article. Nevertheless, this article will attempt to provide a brief synopsis of this great rivalry. Boston won the first World Series in 1903 as the Americans, before changing their name to the Red Sox in 1908. The Yankees, who were known as the Highlanders in the early days, met the Boston Americans in 1904 in a season ending battle for the pennant. Boston was victorious in that game, which was the only time that these two teams[..]
The Lean Kaizen Event - How Long Should...
p>Great Lean Six Sigma practitioners and change agents know the same thing a carpenter does. You have to use the right tool for the right job. When building cabinets, a woodworker relies on tools OTHER than his hammer. One Lean tool that is OFTEN overused is the week long kaizen. For many people the Lean term, kaizen, has become synonymous with five day improvement event. These projects may also be known as Kaizen Blitzes, Rapid Improvement Workshops, or something similar. Common sense dictates that there will also be some projects that need more than a week to resolve, and some that need less. In fact, the term kaizen doesn't just refer to week-long projects.It also means the practice[..]

In many ways, we can read the history of America on its ball fields, written in the dust of the infield or the chalk of the baselines.
