Introducing Add-a-Bat!

July 22nd, 2011

We are excited to partner with a local company, Add-a-Bat, to bring a new innovative product to the dugout.  Add-a-Bat is a baseball bat hook that is designed to fit standard baseball backstop chain link fences.

 

Since most baseball diamonds don’t have a bat rack, Add-a-Bat is your best solution! Its compact design takes up little room in your bat bag and its easy installation is the perfect way to protect your bats and keep the dugout organized.

Add-a-Bats are now available in our store, in a variety of colors to match every team!

For more information about Add-a-Bat give us a call or visit their website.

July 9 | Autograph Signing with Players of the Negro Baseball League.

July 8th, 2011

 

In the store on Saturday, July 9, between 10 am and 12 pm we are pleased to offer an autograph signing with players from the Negro Baseball League.

The players participating will include Dennis Biddle, Charles Davis, James Cobbin, Carl Long, Johnny Washington, and Hank Presswood.

The first successful organized Negro Baseball League was established in Kansas City in 1920 by Rube Foster, a former player, manager, and owner of the Chicago American Giants. The league initially consisted of 8 teams and had great success in attempting to fight segregation and promote community involvement. The turning point for the Negro League began in 1945 when Jacke Robinson, the first African American to play in the Major League, was recruited by the Dodgers. While this event was considered a great triumph, it began the decline of the Negro League as fans began to follow their favorite players to the Major League. The last Negro League team folded in the 1960′s.
