Minnesota Twins Baseball After watching the Twins get pounded last night it left a pretty bad taste in my mouth. Even though I was eating one of the best panini's that I have ever had. The game featuring Twins vs. Texas last night was just a reminder on how much they have been struggling all year, the Twins lost by a football score of 20-6. Playoffs are looking like a long shot and I haven't … [Read more...]

Off Season Baseball Workouts When it comes workouts for baseball I have ran into a system that many of you have already heard of P90X.

After reading another blog recently about wooden bats, I was reminded my first encounter with a real wooden bat. When I was a kid I couldn't wait to swing a real wooden bat. I was about 10 years old and I wanted to swing a wood bat just like the pro's. So I found a wood bat that my dad used as a kid and we would go up into the field and take batting practice as much as we could. It was awesome, I … [Read more...]

  What is your favorite wood bat model?   This is a question that I battle with myself constantly. I cannot choose just one bat model. There has to be a different model bat or weight for the situation that you are in.
