So much so, that the non-pitchers think they are all crazy. The funny thing about baseball superstition is they can arise at anytime based on good or bad game experience. Baseball superstitions are fascinating and is embedded deep in baseball folklore. Here are my nine top baseball superstitions. I’m using nine to go with that “superstition” theme - shake a leg! The Top 9 Baseball Superstitions 1. Not Stepping on the foul line when going on or coming off the field Pitchers and managers are always very cautious not to touch that foul line. 2. Eating the same food before every game Wade Boggs, who played for the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees was infamous for eating chicken before ever game. 3. Leaving the Pitcher Alone and Not talking about a No-hitter This is one of the superstitions that almost every baseball player adheres to. The last thing any player wants to do is jinx his pitcher when he has a No-hitter going. The superstition goes - if you talk about it the no-hitter …

Here are some great softball batting drills for you to work on which can help turn you into a hitting machine. Drill 1 - Command T Drill Purpose: To practice using the same stride while adjusting to different contact spots. Procedure: Set one T at the contact spot for an inside pitch (front inside corner) and one for an outside pitch (back outside corner.) As the hitter plants the front foot, a partner calls “In” or “Out.” The batter hits the ball called for by the partner. Drill 2 - Two Stride Purpose: To practice the stride and check for balance. Procedure: The batter takes her stride with the hands going back to launch position. She freezes and holds that position to review stride length, foot position, hand position, and balance. If all is correct, she repeats the stride and this time swings to hit the ball off the T. If she recognizes a problem, she repeats the stride and does not swing until all is correct. Drill 3 - High Toss Purpose: To learn to keep the barrel above the ball. …

Hank Aaron broke the record after 1976 but never the less broke this record was undefeated for a long time. Babe Ruth played for three different teams in his whole career. He played for the longest time with the New York Yankees as an outfielder. His performance drastically soared and the number of home runs he can make can even out score the total performance of a team. When he stands on the plate, everybody expects a home run. He practically led this team to their victories. Without him, the team would be paralyzed. However, Ruth did not play MLB smoothly. He had his own episodes of rebellious acts that caused him suspensions and ejections from the court. Nevertheless, he makes a comeback and every time he finishes a season, he would always perform better. This left-handed baseball phenomenon was one of the players sold out by his previous team. He played as one of the many talented pitchers of the Boston Red Sox. He was sold out because he demanded a raise in salary and they could …

As I stare out my office window I can’t help thinking about the next twenty years and what I would like them to look like when I’m 70 something. Many of us going through life without spending 30 seconds on planning our life. I know back when I was 13 I wanted to be a Major League Baseball player, only to discover I didn’t have the skill and there was no baseball to speak of for anyone 13 or older in my small town. I never pursued the next thing, I just gave up. A huge mistake. So here I sit, wondering how I want to live out the next decade or two before it all ends. The first thing you do is take inventory right? Inventory on what you ask. On you! I have read a million or two books on business, how to make millions and how to get hired only to discover those authors can’t live your life or do it for you. You are you and what they claim works worked for them. I’ll admit there are common denominators that can be applied to most of us but each person is wired and designed completely diff …

All non-wood bats used must bear the BESR certification mark. The Ball Exit Speed Ratio mark ensures a maximum exit speed of 97 miles per hour. The rules also a part of the BESR standard, have the following requirement a maximum of 2 5/8 inches diameter bat barrel and a minus-3 differrential between the length and weight. (i.e.,a 33-inch-long bat cannot weigh less than 30 ounces). Folks all of the above criteria and certification is dedicated to safety for our high school baseball players. Maybe the rules committee failed to certify or place a mark for size of the boy or muscle strength allowed to use a bat. Collegiate use of non-wood bats might want to consider this Exit Speed Ratio thing to consider the safety net. A bat with a Ball Exit Speed Ratio maximum above 97 miles per hour might ruin the College home run records and statistics. Since professional or major league baseball has placed non-wood bats off limits this BESR thing is of no consequence in professional baseball as of t …

“We all can’t be heroes, because someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.” Will Rogers Like many Americans, I like to see a college basketball game on occasion. Whether you like sports or not, this piece is not, necessarily, about the game of college basketball, but it’s about the game of winning, education and winning in the game of life. There are a couple of ways to get educated, by paying for it yourself and getting a scholarship in various fields, etc. My hero happens to be a basketball coach, by the name of John Wooden, who coached at U.C.L.A. for many years. And, the record of this man, is nothing short of incredible! It is said, that records are made to be broken, but I don’t think this man’s record will ever be broken, at least not in my lifetime! Let me say at the outset, that I do not follow ice hockey, and so I cannot comment on the sport. Of the major sports like football (Super Bowl); baseball (World Series); and the Indy 500 race, where mechanics play an i …
