Just the other day, I was online looking for Acura 3.5 RL Transmission Fluid Diesel Transmission Transmission Fluid MimoUSA.
In my search, I found a great description that I thought you might appreciate, so Im posting it here for you enjoy!
Description:
Dramatically reduces friction and metal to metal contact in the pump by forming a unique lubricating film. It demonstrates incredible lubricating film strength capable of withstanding loads of up to 1.4 GPa (200,000 psi). Lowers the temperature at which typical hydraulic oils will flow by up to 10 C and reduces the risk of cold start up wear. Friction reduction dramatically lowers operating temperatures, adding life to pumps, seals, hoses and oil, and improving clutch engagement. On the Dyno just adding this Bully Dogs Rapid Power ATF allows 50 more rear wheel horsepower to make it to the ground on a transmission that is slipping. If your vehicle spends a significant amount of time towing, the only oil that should be in your transmission is Bully Dogs Rapid Power ATF.
In case you need an unbiased review, Im going to give you that as well
Have you been looking for Acura 3.5 RL Transmission Fluid Diesel Transmission Transmission Fluid MimoUSA? If so, then Ive got some goof news for you. I too have been looking for this and am here to tell you that this is the best purchase Ive made in a very long time.

Tori had her last game tonignt. She has had a blast playing Baseball this Summer and being the only girl on her team! She has had a great encouraging coach who really loves the game and he has been really great for Tori! She has fallen in love with the sport and hopes to play again and again. Tonight she told her coach she wanted to do something hard and she asked if she could play catcher. It was the last inning of the game and here comes Tori strutting out in full catching gear ready to try out a position she has never even practiced once. Everyone was watching and enjoying her genuine effort and desire to try this out! She did amazing. She caught the ball in her glove several times when the batter had swung the bat...this is especially amazing to me. This would not have been a position that I would have volunteered for, but Tori loved it. Once the ball smacked her in the leg and left a mark. Tonight that mark was a symbol of sacrifice for the game that brought a smile to her face. We are so proud of Tori!!! Timo is in his uniform in this picture just because he wanted to wear it!! His last game is later this week.

Team Baseball Unvaried Abatement Packages

February 1, 2005
Sometime last year while sitting at my desk I began to feel excited. No, it wasnt because my new pair of jeans was slightly too tight and applying too much pressure on my prostate. It was because I realized how exciting of a sports year 2006 was going to be. Besides the usual great events such as the Super Bowl and March Madness there was also the World Cup of Soccer and Olympic Hockey to look forward to. But just when I thought it couldnt get any better than that, the powers that be added the World Cup of Baseball, or the World Baseball Classic as I later found it to be named. Three huge global events in a matter of 6 months with March Madness sprinkled in the middle, how can you top that? Well that was then, and this is now.
In reality, I have no one to blame but myself for the let down that I have come to experience. How could I have been so stupid? I mean, surely I should have realized that Bud Selig was running the show and that doom was certainly impending. It may look all well and good now, but here are ten reasons why I wont be watching the World Baseball Calamity, err, Classic.
10. No Yankee pitchers will be allowed to pitch. There is no way that Steinbrenner is going to risk his investments and allow his pitchers to participate in this tournament. Chin Ming Wong is currently listed on the roster of Chinese Taipei, but look for that to change in the next month as they trim rosters from 60 to 30 (this will be a recurring theme throughout the countdown).
9. Chinese Taipei. Just the fact that Chinese Taipei has a team in this thing makes me question its very fabric. Im not exactly sure yet if this is a real country, or just a made up land where every Asian with a hyphenated name was forced to migrate to.
8. Mike Piazza playing for Italy. Give me a break. If youre going to allow a country to play in the WBC then at least let them lose with their own players. Putting a future hall of famer in their lineup just because his name ends in a vowel seems a little vulgar to me.
7. South Africa. Check out the teams that have been slated in Team USAs pool: Canada, Mexico, and South Africa? Its one thing to throw this country into the WBC mix, which joins China as being the only teams with a roster that lacks a player who plays on a current major league team, but to put them in a pool with the other North American countries just to give USA one less challenge? Seems pretty obvious to me whats going on here, not to mention pathetic.
6. Players choosing their country. One of the things that was an initial draw for me was that, being called the World Baseball Classic, I assumed I would be watching the best that each country had to offer while they battled it out against each other. Well, apparently baseball players get to choose where they would like to have been born, and then play for that country. Besides Piazza playing for Italy, you have As pitchers Kirk Saarloos and Danny Haren joining former As pitcher Mark Mulder on the Netherlands (and after all, Mark Mulder was in fact born in South Holland, Illinois, which, besides the fact that the city contains the word Holland in it, is practically right next door to the Netherlands), and American born Nomar Garciaparra is playing for Mexico (although Michael Young who is half Mexican is playing for Team USA). You also have Alex Rodriguez playing for the Dominican Republic, but then not playing at all, and now apparently playing for the US, even though both the Dominican and US rosters list him as a player for their team. My guess is that by next week he may just decide to play for a World Series of Poker bracelet. While theyre at it they might as well let Barry Bonds play for South Africa. The list goes on and on, which once again shows that this tournament has little to do with national pride, and a lot to do with the financial gain of major league baseball.
5. Drug Testing. Because of the strict Olympic style drug testing, you will be sure to see many more players for the US and other countries drop out of this just as Barry Bonds did. Bonds, who is once again under the delusion that people actually think he is clean, first said he would be honored to play for his country, but recently dropped out, citing the fact that he wants to take more time to rest his knees. Interestingly, he had ample opportunity to announce this in front of the large number of media that was in attendance during a recent celebrity golf tournament Bonds attended, but he instead chose to make the announcement via his web site where he of course is able to avoid any questions that people may want to ask of him. Look for other big names, most notably Roger Clemens, to drop off the roster before they go from 60 to 30 in the next month for similar reasons. The fact is that MLBs drug testing policy is a joke, and no urine test is going to come close to detecting HGH or anything else that has been newly developed. Even some blood tests will not detect the new designer steroids out there, but it does increase the chance that you will get exposed. However, that is another discussion for another day.
4. All about the money. Lets face it; the only reason that we are even talking about the World Baseball Classic is because Major League Baseball wants to generate more revenue. Just look at the adds throughout MLB.com. They are even using guilt in order to sell tickets, such as Your favorite players are supporting their countries. Now its your turn to support yours. Give me a break. Kind of funny how the rosters are still at 60 players. Wouldnt it be funny it right after the tickets were sold out they just happened to cut the rosters down to 30, and all the players you wanted to decided they didnt want to play in March and risk injury? Interesting how that works out.
3. Pitch Counts and Mercy Rules. You heard me right, the WBC has set pitch counts for each round of the World Baseball Classic. For the first round it is set at 65 pitches, and it increases to a whopping 80 pitches in the second round and 95 pitches for the semis and finals. Apparently if a pitcher reaches 65 pitches in the midst of an at bat he may finish out that batter, which begs the question does a pitcher who is coming up on his 64th pitch try even harder to throw a strike, regardless of the count, in order to force the batter to make contact in the hope of being able to face one last batter? Talk about changing the way players play the game! They also adopted a mercy rule of 15 runs after 5 innings or 10 runs after 7 in order to end blowouts in a timelier manner. If I wanted to watch little league baseball I would wait until the summer time.
2. March Madness. Talk about poor planning. The WBC takes place smack dab in the middle of March, right during the peak of college basketballs tournament season. Last year baseball tried to upstage the NCAA with their steroid hearings, and now this? Nice try Bud.
1. Bud Selig. The definition of a poor leader. Sure he got lucky with realignment, the wild card, and interleague play (which by now has kind of lost its luster), but any moron who just happened to be the commissioner during the 90s would have come up with the same ideas. It was just a matter of time. He single handedly made football the most popular sport in America, and let the issue of steroids run amuck in the world of baseball. Say what you will about George W. Bush, but at least he surrounds himself with competent people. Seligs cronies are just as clueless as he is. Once again Selig is proving that hes just about putting money in the pockets of his owners, and that he will continue to milk the fans for all they are worth.
So before you tune in to see just what the World Baseball Classic has to offer, remember these ten things I have laid before you. Dont make the same mistake you did last year and miss some exciting college hoops because you want to see how uncomfortable some congressmen can make Mark McGwire and Donald Fehr look. Watch something that really matters, not spring training baseball masquerading as the real thing.

Baseball glove repair and relacing is what Doctor Glove is all about, and for over 25 years people have been relying on him to give new life to their old baseball or softball glove. Doctor Glove, who is known as The Best Friend Any Baseball Glove Ever Had, recently talked about the art and craft of baseball and softball glove repair.
When it comes to glove repairs, I like to think I can fix anything and everything. I havent been proved wrong yet, but I guess theres always a first time, Doctor Glove laughed. Over the years Ive been asked to fix just about every imaginable type of problem in a glove - but Im careful to say that I havent seen everything yet because every time I do, someone brings me a glove thats been critically injured in some new way.
Doctor Glove has an almost cult-like following among his loyal client base in Southern California, but thanks to his website (http://www.DoctorGlove.com) he also gets gloves shipped to him from all around the world.
Relacing, sometimes called re-stringing, is the most common need, says the Doctor, because the rawhide laces used in gloves only last for a few seasons before weakening, stretching and breaking. He said, Most of the rips and tears I see in gloves happened because the owner had worn-out, stretched laces and didnt replace them when he should have.
When asked about glove repairs, Doctor Glove said, I fix a lot of routine problems like rips and tears, or maybe some stitching thats come undone, or maybe someone wants to replace the original padding or put in additional padding. Some clients come to me complaining about their glove being limp or floppy, and most of the time thats because the plastic inserts that are in the thumb and pinkie padding have broken. I make a new plastic insert and bingo, that problem is solved Ive put the snap back in their old glove.
Many of my clients have been using their glove for 10, 20, 30 years or more and would not dream of buying a new one. Maybe it was a special gift, or maybe it was handed down from father to son, or maybe they wore that glove in a championship game, or it has some other special memory associated with it. People become attached to their glove the same way some people become attached to their old cars - it would kill them to get rid of it, the Doctor said.
The Story Behind The Slogan
Doctor Gloves slogan is The Best Friend Any Baseball Glove Ever Had, and he told the story behind the slogan. The Doctor said, Ive fixed a lot of gloves that were chewed up or mauled by dogs, and Ive been telling people for years that dogs may be mans best friend, but theyre also his gloves worst enemy. Well, after I fixed a glove for a guy whose dog had eaten the wrist strap and webbing of his favorite glove, the guy said, If a dog is a gloves worst enemy, then youre a gloves best friend, in fact, youre the absolute best friend any baseball glove ever had!
Customizing Gloves: Strengthening and Additional Finger Lacing
Doctor Glove talked about another specialty of his work, customizing gloves. I do a lot of custom strengthening work thats when the owner feels his glove is too weak or flimsy and thinks the lacing will break too easily, even if the glove has new laces. A lot of glove manufacturers use 3/16 inch laces in places where they really should have used 1/4 inch laces, which are much, much stronger.
A lot of times, my custom strengthening jobs are brand new gloves that have barely been broken in - the owner likes the feel and look of the new glove, but not the strength, toughness or durability. What I do to strengthen a glove is add laces as needed to the webbing or pocket area, by either doubling or tripling the existing lacing, or adding a new lace course (and making holes as necessary). When I custom strengthen a glove, I imagine how strong I would want the glove to be if I had to catch Randy Johnson fastballs!
Another type of customization I am frequently asked to do is adding a lace run through the four fingers of an infielders or outfielders glove (catchers glove and first basemans gloves dont have fingers). In most gloves, there is only one run of lacing connecting the fingers (criss-crossing at the very top of the glove). Some high-end gloves have a second lace run connecting the four fingers about midway up the fingers between the palm and the top finger lace. This second finger lace run adds a little strength, but more than that it helps a glove hold its form and shape.Gloves that I have custom strengthened or added a new lace run though the fingers serve a functional purpose plus they look great! The owner has increased confidence in his ability to catch anything and everything that comes his way, and he also can proudly show off his customized, individualized glove.
Womens and Girls Softball Gloves
The latest rage in Southern California girls softball leagues is a Doctor Glove creation, using designer eyelets instead of the traditional round brass or black eyelets. I can add pastel colors, or bright vibrant team colors, or even eyelets in fun shapes like hearts and daisies. Ive even done patriotic gloves with red, white and blue star eyelets. When gloves are manufactured they use just a few eyelets (also called grommets), but I can put them anywhere on the glove.
Theres no reason why a woman or girl has to leave her femininity in the locker room when shes playing softball, and I help her make a fashion statement with her glove.
Doctor Glove Invents Glove Potion Leather Products
m always been creative when it comes to fixing a major problem, and I believe in the old saying, necessity is the mother of invention. Remember how The Professor on the old TV show Gilligans Island could make just about anything out of absolutely nothing? Well, thats they way I am with gloves - finding ways to make even the most difficult of repairs and inventing tools to get the job done.
Anyway, I developed Glove Potion and Glove Potion #9 cleaners, restorers, conditioners and protectors for glove leather because I wasnt happy with any of the other available products. Maybe someday Ill get rich with the royalties from my Glove Potion and Glove Potion #9 (when we start selling it at places like Wal-Mart and big sporting goods stores).
Doctor Glove Guarantees His Work
All of my work comes with an unconditional one year guarantee - if one of my repairs doesnt hold up for at least a year, or even if a lace breaks, Ill repair the glove for free.

Baseball In Universe War II

FDR let baseball continue, so we had a pastime played by
graybeards, no-beards and other marvels

by William Jeanes
August 26, 1991
Sports Illustrated

(EDITOR'S NOTE: THREE TEAMS PLAYED EACH OTHER IN THE SAME GAME, READ ON...)

The Persian Gulf War was mercifully short, but during its six-week duration sports administrators drew up contingency plans for shorter seasons, reduced rosters and other expedients that would allow them to carry on in a time of conflict. There had been a precedent for their thinking. In the four years following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, the U.S. sports community was forced to adjust to wartime conditions.

The 1942 Rose Bowl, held just 25 days after the "day that will live in infamy," was played in Durham, N.C., a town thought to be safer from Japanese bombing raids than Pasadena . Because of the shortage of players in 1943, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles merged to form the Steagles, a team that went 5-4-1 over one season of existence.

On July 8, 1942, automobile and motorcycle racing were suspended entirely for the duration of the war. Thoroughbred racing was banned on Jan. 2, 1945, but reinstated only four months later, after V - E Day. As a result, Hoop Jr. won the Kentucky Derby on June 9 of that year. Only one other time has the race been run on a date other than one in May. His Eminence won it on April 29, 1901.

For a time, it looked as if there would be no baseball at all for the duration, but according to lore, Washington Senators owner Clark Griffith persuaded President Franklin Roosevelt to encourage its continuance. In a Jan. 14, 1942, letter, baseball commissioner Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis requested formal guidance from the commander-in-chief. "Baseball is about to adopt schedules, sign players, make vast commitments, go to training camps," wrote Landis. "What do you want it to do?" Landis listed several options, ranging from shutting down entirely to conducting business as usual.

"I honestly feel that it would be best for the country to keep baseball going," Roosevelt replied on Jan. 16 in what came to be known as the Green Light letter. In the President's opinion, the 5,000 to 6,000 athletes who played in organized baseball would provide a welcome diversion for the 20 million hard-pressed citizens directly involved with the war effort. The President ended the letter with this thought: "...and that, in my judgment, is thoroughly worthwhile." Thus was baseball preserved, though not exactly intact.

During most of the war effort, the Selective Service could call to arms any able-bodied man between the ages of 18 and 38. Ballplayers were given their draft numbers like everyone else and waited their turn to be called. And like everyone else, ballplayers were entitled to deferments. Ted Williams, who supported his mother, and Joe DiMaggio, who had a wife and young son, were classified in less draft-prone categories for the 1942 season—and both were criticized for it. Stan Musial, who supported his parents and had a wife and child, waited undeferred for his draft notice, which did not arrive until 1944. Cleveland pitcher Bob Feller joined the Navy in December 1941 of his own accord. Detroit's Hank Greenberg, who had fulfilled his military obligation, reenlisted in 1941, immediately after Pearl Harbor.

On some draft boards there was a backlash against professional athletes, and anyone with PA (professional athlete) stamped on his induction papers was put in uniform whether he was physically qualified or not As a result, Red Ruffing, the 38-year-old pitcher for the Yankees, who was missing four toes on his left foot, was accepted into the service. This might have been even more unfair had Ruffing not spent his 2-year hitch playing service ball. Truth be told, the duty to hit-and-run for your country became the assignment for most major leaguers who were called up.

The outcry against supposedly fit players hitting baseballs instead of the trenches goaded Senator William Langer of North Dakota to call for legislation in the spring of 1945 that would have required each major league club to have 10% of its roster made up of athletes who were missing a hand, an arm or a leg. The end of the war also ended such talk.

Still, baseball contributed its fair share of manpower to the war effort. According to The Sports Encyclopedia: Baseball, the 16 major league teams sent 428 men to the armed forces. The first to go, on March 8, 1941, was pitcher Hugh Mulcahy of the Phillies, who joined the Army. The inevitable dilution of talent eventually required team owners to make do with the oddest, and perhaps the most inept, contingent of players ever seen on major league playing fields.

On the field, matters often went from predictably bad to worse to ludicrous. In 1944, Brooklyn Dodger manager Leo Durocher, 38, furious at the incompetence of his infield, reactivated himself as a second baseman for a preseason exhibition game and promptly broke his thumb in two places, the result of a bad throw from shortstop Gene Mauch . Jimmie Foxx, the Athletics and Red Sox slugger who had retired after the 1942 season, was coaxed back onto the field by the Cubs in 1944, and again by the Phillies in the following season. Foxx, 36, appeared in 89 games for Philadelphia and hit .268. But he also pitched on nine occasions, starting two games, and ended the season with a record of 1-0 and an eye-opening ERA of 1.57.

Other graybeards back in uniform included Babe Herman, who had ended his pro career in 1937. Herman, 42, played for Brooklyn in 1945 and, recalling his earlier days with the Dodgers' Daffiness Boys of the '30s, singled in his first at bat and fell down rounding first. Ben Chapman, who was an outfielder with the Yankees in the '30s, was reincarnated as a pitcher for Brooklyn in 1944 and went 5-3. The following season, he had a 3-3 record, pitching for both the Dodgers and the Phillies.

At the other end of the age scale, Nelson Fox was still in the Boy Scouts when, at 16, he went to spring training with the 1944 Philadelphia Athletics . And 15-year-old Joe Nuxhall took the mound for Cincinnati on June 10, 1944, giving up five runs on two hits and five walks in just two thirds of an inning.

The names, numbers and misadventures of the 1942-45 seasons read like a Who's Not Who of baseball: Nick Etten of the Yankees won the 1944 home run title with 22 dingers, the fewest since Babe Ruth tied Tilly Walker for the 1918 title, with 11.

The 1944 World Series was played between the Browns and their Sportsman's Park cotenants, the St. Louis Cardinals. A play that might have typified the times came on Cardinal pitcher Max Lanier's sacrifice bunt in the third inning of the second game. Only two errors were officially charged, but the way Browns manager Luke Sewell saw it, "We made six misplays on the ball. That's pretty difficult." The Browns lost that game 3-2 in the 11th inning, and they eventually lost the Series in six games. Even that was something of an upset according to Chicago American sportswriter Warren Brown, who before the Series began had written that "neither team was capable of winning."

Any discussion of errors would be in complete without mentioning Cubs shortstop Len Merullo, who made four in one inning on Sept. 13, 1942. His son, Leonard Jr., was born on that day, and both father and son were henceforth nicknamed Boots.

It wasn't just baseball's personnel that was affected by the war. Even the way the game was played had bizarre moments. One of the strangest occurred at an exhibition contest to sell war bonds that took place at New York's Polo Grounds on June 26, 1944. On that day, the home-standing Giants not only played the hometown-rival Dodgers, but they also played the hometown Yankees. The Dodgers played the Yankees, too. In the same game.

Using a format concocted by Paul A. Smith, a Columbia University mathematics professor, the Giants, Dodgers and Yankees played a three-cornered, nine-inning game won by the Dodgers by a score of 5-1 (Yankees ) to 0 (Giants). The Yankees batted in the top of the first, sixth and seventh innings, and in the bottom of the third, fourth and ninth. The other two teams also batted and fielded six times, three times each against their two rivals. Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia threw out three first balls in front of 50,000 fans, all of whom had gained admission by buying one or more war bonds. The bond drive was estimated to have raised $6 million.

It has become fashionable to believe that wartime baseball was not truly awful. It was. And yet, let's not be too disparaging. After all, the Browns ' 1944 pennant-winning percentage of .578 would have won two of the four major league division titles in 1990 and three of four in 1989.

In the on-deck-circle, Bubba starts prepping for his at-bat by visualizing a line drive over the shortstop’s head… SOX1FANation photo.

S1F: Who is the toughest pitcher you’ve ever faced?
BB: In my first spring training, I faced Curt Schilling and Josh Beckett on back-to-back days. I had just been drafted and I was at my first spring training, and there I was facing those two guys. And I didn’t have a clue as to what was going on… I couldn’t tell you which one of them was the toughest, but those definitely are the top two.
S1F: Who on your own team would you least want to face in the ninth inning with the game on the line?
BB: I probably wouldn’t want to face Daniel Haigwood, because he’s going to stay away with fastballs and then come at you with a huge curveball. And I would say Daniel Bard, too – because he can mix a 99 mph fastball with a 79 mph curveball and that will mess you up, so he probably wouldn’t be a whole lot of fun to face either.
But with that said, all of these guys do an outstanding job and I wouldn’t want to ruffle any feathers by naming one guy and not naming someone else.
S1F: When you were called up to Double-A, did you find consistency in instruction between Single-A and Double-A?
BB: Yeah. The people in the organization talk a lot about “the Red Sox way”… since Theo’s been in charge I think that approach has been incorporated at every level. This is only my third full year so I don’t know how it was previously, but from my standpoint I think things are very consistent. From the big league club down you can see it… it’s about being selectively aggressive getting a good pitch to hit and getting on base. Nobody runs a whole lot and nobody bunts a whole lot, but you’ll see a lot of walks and a high on-base-percentage and lots of pitches per at-bat. That’s part of what they call ‘the Red Sox way” and what they’re trying to incorporate from their youngest guys all the way up to the big league level.
S1F: A lot of these guys have a story about Lancaster – about the wind or what have you. Do you have a favorite Lancaster story?
BB: Yeah, I do, but it wasn’t about something that happened on the field. It’s about something that happened coming back from a road trip. I was walking up to the front of the bus to put a movie into the CD player, which is always right at the front of the bus by the steps. Just at that moment, our bus driver was about to miss our exit and so he tapped on the brakes. I went forward and thought I was going to step on the floor but I was at the steps…
I went down the steps and hit the windshield, putting a huge spider crack in the windshield. I almost went through it. Chad Epperson (the manager in Lancaster) grabbed me, pulled me back and threw me towards the back of the bus. He said something like “I’ll get fired if something like that happens”.
It scared me to death at the time, but looking back it was hilarious.
S1F: In the movie “For the Love of the Game”, Kevin Costner’s character talks about “clearing the mechanism”. Do you have a routine for clearing the mechanism?
BB: Yeah. (My routine) starts on deck.
I’ll take a few deep breaths in the on-deck circle and visualize a line drive over the shortstop’s head – that keeps me from getting into pull mode and trying to yank the ball out.
As I walk up to the plate, I concentrate on getting my foot down and getting everything done in time… and then it’s just a matter of getting a good pitch to hit and staying in the middle of the field. I’m not trying to guess what he’s going to throw, though there are times when I’m struggling that I’ll try to guess pitches… but when I’m locked in and swinging the bat well, I’m not thinking of anything except getting everything done in time, getting a good pitch and going up the middle.
And that has to do with the consistency we were talking about earlier, always going back to the same approach and the same fundamentals whether things are good or bad.
S1F: What is your favorite thing about being on a baseball field?
BB: Oh, being around the guys. You know, by the end of the season you can be really tired of some of them sometimes, but two weeks into the off-season and I’m ready to be back around them again. We have so much fun.
And obviously, I love the competition – I love to compete and I love to win. And especially in the upper levels with the larger crowds, who wouldn’t want to get out there and play in front of thousands of people…
S1F: Is there a least favorite thing about being on the field?
BB: I can’t think of one thing. I mean, going through the grind of the season can wear on you, but I’ll tell you what – I’d rather run out to center field and (run through drills) and take infield as opposed to being in an office with a 9-5 job. I love every minute of my job and I really don’t want to imagine doing anything else.
S1F: Last question… if I say the name of a few of your current and former teammates, please say the first word that pops into your head: Justin Masterson?
BB: Dominant.
S1F: Michael Bowden?
BB: Bulldog… competitor.
S1F: Kris Johnson?
BB: Umm, just that he’s very talented
S1F: Zach Daeges?
BB: Caveman.
S1F: Aaron Bates (Bell’s close friend and roommate)?
BB: Oh man, I can’t do it… no one word can sum him up (laughing).

The game of wiffle ball is lots of fun, and teaches many skills that are valuable in baseball and softball. Kids play it because its fun and can be played anywhere. You can play in your backyard, in the street, in a field, on a baseball diamond, and even the beach. The wiffle ball itself is lightweight and wont break any windows, and wont hurt children if a pitch hits them. The wiffle ball bat is lightweight and can be handled by children of nearly any age.
Children that play wiffle ball are actually building their self-confidence. As a pitcher, the wiffle ball will spin, curve, and wiggle in almost any direction. As a hitter, a child gains confidence in swinging the wiffle ball bat and hearing the crack of the bat hitting the ball. All of these confidence-building skills will help when the child plays baseball or softball. You can find books and videos to learn baseball and softball by visiting http://www.2PlayBall.com and you can also learn by doing: so play ball and enjoy the game as you learn more and become better.
Wiffle-ball baseball pitching mechanics and technique: A pitcher in the game of wiffle ball can throw the ball with spins and curves, depending on the type of pitching grip. Holding the ball differently will cause the ball to be a curveball, slider, sinker, floater, fastball, or any other kind of pitch. Thanks to the lightweight nature of the wiffle ball, a young player can try different stances and pitching mechanics and techniques. A pitcher can throw side-arm or overhead. The pitcher can even switch and use their non-preferred throwing arm. A right-handed pitcher could try pitching left-handed, and a left-handed pitcher could choose to try being a right-handed pitcher. The simple grip of the ball and the lightweight wiffle ball can allow this experimentation.
Wiffle-ball baseball hitting mechanics and technique freedom: A child who is up at bat with a wiffle ball bat can swing the bat much faster that he/she could with a much heavier bat. This new-found baseball swing freedom can increase a childs confidence and boost batting mechanics and technique. A right-handed baseball hitter could tryout a left-handed baseball hitting stance. Or, a left-handed baseball hitter could tryout a right-handed baseball hitting stance. A child could become a switch hitter!
Baseball fielding mechanics and technique: The wiffle ball is not only a tricky ball to hit, it is also very tricky to field. When the wiffle ball is hit in the air, it can spin off the bat and thus fly in a surprising fashion. Once the wiffle ball hits the ground, it will react to any tiny tree branch or pebble on the ground. These quick bounces and direction changes are excellent for practicing fielding techniques for youth baseball players. The child is required to keep their eye on the ball at all times, and they must quickly react to any sudden change in direction. The quick bounce of a wiffle ball hit on the ground will keep a child light on their feet and give them lighting-fast hand reflexes for fielding techniques.
Backyard baseball fun anytime: A game of wiffle ball builds many skills and coordination for baseball players of all ages. Its easy, its fun, and it can be played anywhere.

RT Staff Note: The following story is real folks. I wouldn't make this stuff up. The City of Beachwood a close by suburb of Cleveland, has decided to break tradition and cancel a Little League All-Star game for children ages 9-12.

In March, Beachwood Mayor Merle Gordon sent a letter to parents of children involved in the Little League program stating the city was canceling the All-Star game based on information provided in an article written by the founder of the National Alliance for Youth Sports, Fred Engh. Wacky Freddy has been advocating positive and safe sports for children since 1981.

In his article, Freddy states..."Theres nothing like sticking a dagger into a youngsters self-esteem the first season he plays the sport by letting him know that hes not good enough or considered worthy to be part of this elite group of teammates. Thats not the message we want to send to children who are already less active and more obese than any previous generation in history."

Hmmmm....so just because Tommy is obese, you punish Timmy who works his butt off? Wow...we just don't get this at all. Hey parents, if your kid is obese...turn off the TV, limit video game usage, quit buying Ding Dongs and let your kid explore a real world out doors rather than the virtual one he thinks he lives on Playstation.

According to Mayor Gordon, so far, he has received nearly no opposition to the cancellation of the game. It must be noted that we tried to call the mayors office and there was no answer. That could explain the opposition thing. Either that or the parents and kids were too busy indoors playing the latest Halo video game.

However, there is hope in this Rock and Roll Town. In a poll conducted by My Fox Cleveland over 983 votes were cast and 84% stated that "Kids Should be Rewarded for Their Play." Only 9% thought that the decision boosted self esteem. Maybe Mayor Gordon was too busy clicking the "boost self esteem" poll button to answer the phone, because we can't see why anyone would think that this decision is even remotely close to sane.

"The goal of the youth programs is to introduce the concept of teamwork, provide instruction and foster the love of the game." said Mayor Gordon in a Fox News interview. HUH? Ok, Mayor...we get that...Did you get that statement off of the Little League Web site? What does that have to do with the decision to cancel the games though? And why is a mayor involved in this decision? Is this really his call? Shouldn't the Little League national organization have a say?

Personally, we think that the low self esteem comes from living in the Cleveland area and has nothing to do with All Star games. This decision is the true Mistake By The Lake. OK, that was a joke...kind of...The Cleveland metro area isn't exactly the hotbed of youth baseball. This isn't that big of a loss for them. Now try to ban All-Star games in California, Florida, Georgia or Texas and see what happens. This decision just proves that we are turning into a world of softies and whiny non-winners. We don't think we should ban All Star Games at all. We think sports should BAN:

1. Trophies for everyone...We hate that and always have. If a player or his team didn't earn a trophy based on performance, they don't deserve one. Earning a trophy for mediocrity just teaches more mediocrity and breeds spoiled children and attitudes of entitlement.

2. Talent that is spread out evenly. The democratic system of Little League destroys Little League....thus the flight to more and more travel teams. The best players should all play on the best teams and leagues...The middle of the road/developing players should play in another league and so on. This promotes more playing time for all players. A kid with little or no athletic ability gets to play with others of alike ability...with the key word being PLAY! Birds of a feather flock together. It works. Everyone plays...no one gets teased or sits the bench. The better players develop along with other better players, making them....better. The second tier players on the other leagues also benefit from more playing time and also get the opportunity to get better and play in their own All-Star games. You promote self esteem by playing. If there are still bruised egos in this system...well...maybe sports isn't their calling. And that's OK. Sports is not the end-all for a majority of players. But at least this system rewards players for excelling and playing well with players of their own ability. More kids get a chance to play in All Star Games...It may not appease Freddy, but it's the right thing to do.

The bottom line is that sports and especially baseball is about successes AND failure. We think it's worse that a league or Mayor punishes its good players and denies them a chance to show off their talents at an All Star Game. We don't care if they are 9 or 19...players that earned accolades should be celebrated and honored.

If I were that mediocre player that wouldn't have had a chance to make an All-Star team...I'd feel terrible for my team mate that worked hard and earned a shot at fame to only have it denied. Was Pavlov that off base? You work hard, you get rewarded. That's the American way.

Sir Winston Churchill once said, "Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm." Yet if these kids are all treated equally, how will they ever learn what failure or success is?

It's no surprise that the acronym for Wacky Freddy's organization is NAYS...and the nays may have it in Cleveland...but they have it all wrong. Here's Freddy's article. Please respond. His e-mail is below.

Bench All-Star Games
Kids will thank you for it

By Fred Engh

The familiar sights and sounds of spring are just around the corner--birds chirping, flowers blooming and millions of parents cheering on children participating in organized baseball and softball programs nationwide.

Yet alarmingly, many kids experiences will be sabotaged when that nasty storm cloud--the All-Star selection process--rolls through. That ridiculous time of the year when ego-driven coaches and parents begin puffing their chests out a little more at the ballpark, and talks shift to how their child is All-Star worthy because of their ability to throw harder or hit better than their teammates.

Granted, there are endless issues that todays parks and recreation professionals must deal with while orchestrating programs, but it has baffled me for decades that this topic continues to be ignored season after season.

A Bruised Ego
Theres nothing like sticking a dagger into a youngsters self-esteem the first season he plays the sport by letting him know that hes not good enough or considered worthy to be part of this elite group of teammates. Thats not the message we want to send to children who are already less active and more obese than any previous generation in history.

Just think for a moment how preposterous All-Star games are, especially in T-ball or beginning-level programs. In kindergarten classrooms across the country, do we take the kids who are learning letters and numbers quicker than their classmates and announce that these kids are special and give them extra attention and cool extracurricular activities to participate in? Of course not! That would destroy the others confidence and make them feel insignificant.

So why do administrators continue to allow these senseless games to be played at their facilities? Just because theyve been conducted for decades doesnt mean thats the blueprint for the future.

All-Star games make about as much sense as taking a vegetarian to a fancy steakhouse, or hitting an all-you-can-eat buffet with a friend who is struggling to stick to a diet.

All-Star games should be benched for several reasons:

It doesnt take much to figure out that kids who mature quicker than others are going to be stronger, faster and probably more productive on the field. So, were simply recognizing players whose bodies have developed faster in many cases.

The entire process is twisted. Id love to know the percentage of kids who are chosen for these All-Star teams who have a parent involved in coaching. Mom or Dad justify choosing their own child--even if hes clearly not one of the better players--because theyve surrendered a lot of their free time to volunteer to coach.

The injury factor. Stress fractures, trips to specialists and surgeries come into play when these seasons are extended with extra games and practices. They take a toll on young bodies and lead to an avalanche of overuse injuries.

On top of all this, the National Standards for Youth Sports state that leagues should not engage in choosing post-season All-Star teams. The standards were put together by some of the nations top recreation professionals and are the true voice of reason when it comes to youth sports.

Take The Initiative
The solution is clear and simple--ban All-Star games. Singling out players for these teams smothers the purpose of recreational youth sports leagues, where the emphasis should be on participation and learning.

Yes, many parents nationwide will no doubt cringe at this stance because All-Star games are a great source of pride when a child earns that distinction, but the kids could care less. What 5 year old, who cant even tie his shoes yet, gains any extra satisfaction from being chosen for these teams?

Ill bet your recreation department is involved in All-Star games in some way. If you dont step forward to push for change, who will?

If youre feeling reluctant to do something, consider all the children who feel hurt, left out and embarrassed by being passed over every season.

Youth sports arent meant to single out only a handful of kids; theyre about making every child feel special, including those who wont make the All-Star team.

As an athlete (or at least having been an athlete in the past) and a sports fan, one of the difficult things about finding myself on an extended stay in Shanghai, China (setting up sporting goods manufacturing and other business contacts) is the near isolation from most American sports. Although basketball, over the past ten or so years, has become popular among the Chinese people, baseball has yet to find its way into the sports culture here. While at every school or playground its likely youll find some kid aspiring to become the next Yao Ming, mention the term to most Chinese, even ones who speak pretty good English, and youll likely find yourself having to search through a phrasebook to find the Chinese phrase for baseball: (pronounced bong chi-o).
As an athlete (or at least having been an athlete in the past) and a sports fan, one of the difficult things about finding myself on an extended stay in Shanghai, China (setting up sporting goods manufacturing and other business contacts) is the near isolation from most American sports.

While at every school or playground its likely youll find some kid aspiring to become the next Yao Ming, mention the term to most Chinese, even ones who speak pretty good English, and youll likely find yourself having to search through a phrasebook to find the Chinese phrase for baseball: (pronounced bong chi-o).
I had heard from some of the expatriates living in Shanghai that there was some sort of baseball team playing in the city, so I did some Google searches to see whether I could find information about the team. I found a few articles on the Internet about the Shanghai Eagles spring trip to the U.S. to compete against junior college teams. The game summaries, published by the news people at a few of the U.S. schools against which the Eagles played, described a team that had decent pitching, but not much hitting. As can happen with that kind of team chemistry, the Shanghai club lost all seven of its exhibition games in the U.S.
I didnt expect much when I went to watch the team play, but I was excited to actually see a baseball field again, having been in China for awhile, and I wanted to experience the baseball environment here. A Chinese friend of mine hunted down information about where the Shanghai Eagles played and at what time, so I took my wife out for a Friday afternoon at the baseball field.
The old ball game didnt have any peanuts or Cracker-Jacks, or hot dogs, or drinks, or very many spectators. There was a mascot dressed in a chicken suit, and, although we had to search behind some buildings to find it, surprisingly the field looked pretty standard. There was a total of probably fifty people in attendance when the game began. People came and went as the game progressed. Something that struck me was the feeling that many there were obviously hard-core baseball fans, the kind you would expect to find catching foul balls at a MLB park. After quickly being spotted as one of the only white guys in attendance, I was approached by Dan Washburn, a news consultant doing a story for Baseball America. During my conversation with him, he told me that he met some older Chinese men at one of the games hed attended. He mentioned that when he asked them what brought them out to the event, they told him they played ball when they were much younger, being forced to leave the game behind when Mao Zedong did away with the American influence during the Cultural Revolution. As for the group of boisterous, college-aged enthusiasts, I was told that a group of them attended the local baseball college, and they were being trained to later become professionals. (In China, many children who express a particular athletic skill are guided down a specialized path devoted largely to the ultimate fulfillment of their athletic capabilities.) There were some younger T-ball aged kids at the game who were introduced to me by the uncle of one of the boys. He wanted them to practice English with me and my wife, and later the two boys asked me to play catch with them using the homemade-looking, well-used baseball one of the boys brought to the game.
The area we used to play catch was the same grass area outside the stadium used by the professional teams to warm up their bullpen pitchers. I used the opportunity to get a feel for how well a professional pitcher in China throws. The one I saw was probably throwing in the high-70s to low 80s. I watched him throw curve balls with some good movement and change ups as well. His control was comparable to an average to good college pitcher.
The particular game we watched went into extra innings as the Eagles dropped a large lead late in the game. Being distracted by people attempting to practice English during the tenth and eleventh innings, it wasnt until the twelfth that I noticed a strange twist to baseball as the Chinese play it. Probably for the sake of ending the game as soon as possible, they allow both teams to start extra innings with a runner on second base. One problem I saw with this approach is that it made the game boring, as the apparent lack of confidence in hitting on the part of both teams turned the extra innings into a bunt-fest. Finally Tianjin broke open and went on to win 9-5 in 12 innings.
During the game, I met some college baseball players who had become interested in baseball when they came to college. They dont attend the designated baseball college, so their educational involvement baseball is only extra-curricular. They invited me to play with them, and I have participated in some of their practices and scrimmages.
On a Wednesday afternoon in May I followed the directions given to me to meet the team at the Shanghai Teachers University on Guilin Road. The field where the team practiced wasnt actually a baseball field. It was a general-purpose field used mainly for soccer and track exercises. I have quickly come to understand that the space limitations in Shanghai, similar to most parts of China, make it so that facilities have to double up on their usage. It was amusing to me to watch as we set up for a scrimmage. The areas where right and center field should be was filled with a mix of people, including a few of our people playing those positions, and soccer players who were not in the least interested in what we were doing, especially since they were fully engaged in their own game. As fly balls dropped among them, some of the soccer players would pick the balls up and toss them back, while others would, with a demonstration of irritation, kick them out of the way. Fortunately for the soccer players, none of them were hit.
Many of the baseball players were not so lucky. A healthy fear of hard baseballs traveling at high speeds seems to be second nature for most Americans, as if we are born with an understanding that if a ball is fouled off into someones face, its going to hurt like heck at best. Although most of them didnt understand what I was saying, I attempted many times to tell those watching the action to back away from the batter and catcher. During one ten-minute interval, I saw three people get hit hard in the face or head by baseballs. Throughout the whole practice there were constant near-misses as well.
On-deck hitters kept with the Chinese custom for preserving ones place in line by crowding behind the person in front. That approach is okay for the local McDonalds. In fact, if you dont push your way up in line, you will find yourself standing in the same place for a long time, with person after person jumping in front of you. However, when the person at the front of the line is swinging a bat, a different set of rules should apply.
During the first practice with the college players, I was invited to pitch to the team as they scrimmaged. It soon became apparent that there were various skill levels represented at the plate. I was reminded of something I saw in Little League (where kids are usually just beginning to learn how to react to balls thrown towards them) when a particularly nervous batter accidentally stepped in front of the plate, opening up towards the ball so that it hit him directly in the stomach. Fortunately I was only throwing about 70 mph, so no major damage was done, except that the player was likely quickly cured of any interest he had in the new American sport. After that incident the other players warned me when I was pitching to someone who was new, so I could slow it down enough for them to take some solid cuts.
In a country where the sport hasnt really caught on yet, it amazes me that these players respond so well to the difficulties of learning baseball. It is obvious that many of these people, girls and guys alike, have developed a love and even a passion for the game. Before their season started in June, they practiced on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Most practice sessions last five hours or longer. During the time I have participated with them, I have seen their skills improve, with arm strength increasing and fielding and batting capabilities doing the same.
So when the Olympics come to Beijing in 2008, what can we expect from the Chinese team? Will it be somewhat of an embarrassment, like the Greek teams performance in 2004? Or will the home team have a chance to compete? My personal opinion is that the competition level doesnt exist in China now for the national team to compete with the likes of Japan, Taiwan, the U.S., or Cuba. However, if they can get enough exposure by playing outside of China, they might just pull off a medal. As for the long-term outlook on baseball in China, comments made by someone who has more experience with the system, as an investor and active baseball supporter in China, give a pretty good take on the subject. When I mentioned to him that I was considering opening a baseball retail store or batting cage in Shanghai, one of the founders of the CBL told me that it wouldnt be a bad idea if I didnt mind starving for a couple of years. A few years from now however, he said, a much different scenario is likely to exist, with baseball possibly becoming what it is in Taiwan.

This is an exceptional true book that John Grisham has given to his readers. The Innocent Man causes the readers to place themselves in the position of a prisoner when they are not guilty but have been charged as guilty and sentenced to death or life without parole. It is not a place anyone would want to be in but rather be FAR from it. The story occurs mostly in Oklahoma in and near the city of Ada. Peggy Stilwell's beautiful daughter, Debbie Carter, was one that liked to live by herself and do things that she wanted to do without her mother or anyone interfering. She wanted to be independent. Some of the places at which she worked or hung out were not the best places in town but as I said, Debbie was a free spirit.
When Peggy Stilwell found her daughter nude, bloodied, raped, and dead on the floor in her own apartment, she was horrified. The investigation began by tracing her activities from the time she got off work early to when her body was found. In 1982 many of the present day tools for tracing clues were not available but the shoddy work done by the inexperienced police force in Ada did not help the situation at all. Many possible suspects were interviewed, many of which were let go without close investigation. After several months the trail finally got to Ron Williamson. Ron had been a baseball nut, playing for his schools wherever he went and being quite successful until alcohol started dimming his ability to play. He would not accept that his career was over no matter how old he got. His mind always retained that he was a great baseball player and still could play with the best.
As time went on, his drinking and drug use became a huge detriment to his living and his ability to keep friends. His short-term marriage ended. He went from one rehab center to another. Eventually Ron Williamson and Dennis Fritz were arrested and charged with the murder of Debbie Carter and the police suspected they were also involved in some other rapes and murders. Dennis Fritz was not nearly suspected as much as Ron so most of the attention and investigation and some very shoddy police work was done against Ron Williamson.
Ron was out of prison at times but he was repeatedly rearrested, again because of the uncertain evidence gathered by the police. Eventually Ron Williamson settled into his prison life while getting more and more mentally unstable as every week passed. He was sent to various psychiatric hospitals and was interviewed by many shrinks all of who thought he was very unstable. Life in prison was a nightmare for any inmate but especially worse for someone in Ron's condition. He aged very fast even though he wasn't an old man.
This true story will guide you though Ron Williamson's life from youth to his final days and all he endured in and out of prison. Another book that is hard to put down. Knowing it is a true story makes it even harder to absorb and makes one wonder about our justice system. Please read this great story by a terrific author.

Team Baseball Alike Abatement Packages

The early part of the Twentieth Century saw the rise of an age that has come to be known as the Dead Ball Era of baseball. The Dead Ball Era reportably spanned the Progressive Reform Age leading up to the Roaring Twenties, which ran from 1900 to 1919. During this time, professional and semi-professional ball clubs relied heavily on defense and pitching, and scoring was at a premium.
Pitchers dominated the pace of the games, and several legendary pitchers established their lasting legacy during this period. Some of the most notable were Cy Young, Walter Johnson and Grover Cleveland Alexander. In part, these fellows and several others were responsible for a lack of offensive production during this period, but there were other reasons as well.
Dead Ball also describes the baseballs actual condition, especially in the latter stages of the games after it had been manipulated, defaced and altered, which was standard practice at that time. Baseballs were considered expensive, and at three dollars each, generally only one ball was used per game. The hardness and aerodynamics of the ball were poor by modern standards and thus the sphere was detrimental to a hitters success.
In general terms, even though the ball was by most accounts, it actually did not provide a huge advantage to either offense or defense. The ball could not be hit for great distance, but the poor condition of the ball decreased the speed while increasing the movement of the pitch, thus making it somewhat easier for the hitters to make contact. Hit balls did not generate the tremendous speed off the bat as in todays game. This benefited the defenders in the field. Balls were only replaced if they were hit into the stands and lost. There were not many long-ball hitters and short game strategy was common, although some sources say that strategy as a whole was lacking in the Dead Ball Era, which may have further added to a lack of offensive production.
The rule was installed in 1901 in the National League and 1903 in the American, whereas hitters were charged with their first two strikes on foul balls. The new rule benefited pitchers and cause offensive output to decline further. It also remained legal to throw spit balls, and although illegal, defacing the ball in some way was a very common practice. Consequently, as you might expect with these conditions, hitting a soft, wet, and usually defaced ball resulted in may singles and fewer doubles, triples and homers.
Dividing pitching responsibility among a larger bullpen also became trendy, as did the sacrifice bunt. Both of these strategies had a detrimental effect as well on a hitters overall performance. Strangely, there were some legendary record setting hitters from this era, most notably, Ty Cobb. Hailing from Georgia, his nickname was the Georgia Peach, Cobb was best known for his pinpoint hitting accuracy and his never-say-die stubborn character. He set the record for career batting average at .366 and for runs scored with 2,245; both marks still stand to this day. He also finished his career first in hits; this record stood until the mid-1980s when Pete Rose broke the record. In 1936, Ty Cobb became the very first inductee of baseballs Hall of Fame, earning 222 out of 226 votes.
During the Dead Ball Era, managers relied on defensive strategy much more than offensive strategy. It was said, you could shake a tree and find a bat, but finding a glove was a whole different matter. Offensive skills were not highly sought after by managers. The focus was on defense. Some critics argue that baseballs probably were not the cause of low scoring, given there was no change in the balls construction between the high scoring 1890s and the low scoring 1900s. The 1894 season saw the highest offensive totals in runs scored ever recorded in the National League. The construction of the ball was changed in 1911 in an attempt to make the ball livelier and to increase scoring. The balls were corked for the first time. And yet, the Dead ball Era continued for another eight years-until 1919.
In 1908, an incident occurred in the National League that has come to be widely known as the Merkle Incident. It occurred during a regular season meeting between the Giants and the Cubs, In a tie game with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, runners on first and third, a single hit by Al Bridwell apparently won the game for the Giants as the runner scored from third. However, Fred Merkle was on first and ran to the clubhouse instead of advancing to second base, partly because the fans were mobbing the field at the Polo Grounds and partly because it was not entirely customary in that era to run out game winning hits. The Cubs second baseman, Johnny Evers later claimed to have alertly retrieved the ball and tagged second base. By a strict interpretation of the rules, Merkle was forced out at second, and the game winning run nullified. Because of the pandemonium on the field, none of the umpires saw Evers make the play. Since an official protest was registered, the League ordered the game replayed at the end of the season only if it was necessary. It turned out that it was necessary when the Cubs and Giants ended the regular season tied for first place. The Cubs won the replayed game and then went on to win the League pennant and then the World Series. The Chicago Cubs have not won a World Series since.
Even though it wasnt brought to the medias and publics attention until 1920, no article on the Dead Ball Era would be complete without mentioning The White Sox of 1919, or as they have become widely known: the Black Sox. Many of the White Sox players felt they were underpaid. This was in light of a new trend where owners in both leagues offered the best players much higher salaries than they had been previously paid. At the same time, White Sox Owner Charlie Comiskey felt cutting costs was the best response to a poor showing by his team in 1918. As a result, a conspiracy ensued by eight of the starting White Sox players to throw the World Series.
Many observers of the series suspected this was the case and a long running controversy eventually led to a Grand Jury investigation. Eddie Cicotte was the first to come forward and admit his part in the conspiracy, followed by Joe Jackson. All eight of the Black Sox were suspended from baseball. Even though there was no law against conspiring to throw baseball games, and all 8 players were eventually acquitted, they were all ruled permanently ineligible.
