April means the start of baseball season, at least for some players. While the pros may have taken the field those who aren’t paid to play will wait for the better weather, which is good because the Leather Head Baseball Gloves require about six to eight weeks before you can actually put it on your hand. These are made by veteran craftsman using the highest-quality materials. So even if you aren’t worthy of the big leagues your hand won’t know the difference.

A Glove to Love
Whether baseball is really America’s pastime is left open to debate, as is whether a quality glove will improve the game? For those who want to see if it is true – that a serious glove will turn anyone in an all-star – there is the Mixuno Pro Limited Edition Glove.
This is $500 worth of not just leather but Deguchi Tanned Northern European Kit leather, and it has been engineered with special “Speed Drive” technology to have a perfectly balanced position to provide the wearer with the fastest reaction and best response possible.

Big Costs for the Little League
What happened to the days when baseball was more than just being about the money? We aren’t talking about the billionaire owners or millionaire players – we’re talking about the cost of Little League, which today apparently costs big dollars.
The New York Times last week reported that the cost for parents is anything but little – and it gives new meaning to the concept of “pay to play.” So what are we talking? As noted by the Times: “If you have not outfitted a little slugger lately, prepare for sticker shock. The youth baseball circular for one major retailer advertises bats in the $219.99 to $249.99 range.” Add in the $129.99 glove, $39.99 batting helmet, $19.99 batting gloves and shoes for $51.99 and today’s kids might need to become free agents just to play at the sand lot!

Brooks HVAC Glove has Silver Lining
Gloves are an essential for winter running. It’s important to cover all skin from exposure, but fingers are more susceptible to cold. The HVAC Glove from Brooks Sports packs some tech features into its grip. Its HVAC material is made with silver-embedded fibers to thermally balance body temperature, and transfer moisture. It also kills bacteria within an hour of contact so germs don’t build up from one run to the next. The finger tips have a polyurethane coating to aid dexterity and grip objects. The HVAC Glove also has a thumb pad that can operate an MP3 player with the gloves still on. That’s key to keeping warm on your next jaunt. Brooks also built in a magnet to keep gloves together when not in use. This way wherever you throw them, in a closet or a bag, you’ll pull them out together.
