That idiot who runs the sportsplex is stepping down after 11 years.
Help us pick our next jerseys, they'll be based off one of the following. Team name is war machine
That's a damn nice swing.
First swing looks ok, second one im trying somethjng different. Second one is def more armsy, focusing on keeping the bat straight and shoulder level while taking a huge step forward allowing the load to be as long back as possible. The downside to that is there isnt a lot of hips bc you're focusing exclusively on upper body. The upside is, look how much faster that bat gets around on 2 vs 1@David, he actually has a bit of room for more power since he doesn't use his hips enough in the swing...

Putting this in here because he just died, and he should be remembered for this performance on the National Anthem at the 1994 All Star game. The whole thing is great, but that "free" he hits at the end -- with all that emotion behind it -- is just awesome.
Met Herb Score at the Bethpage Air Show in NY back in 1998. We were visiting one of my dad’s childhood friends and Herb must have some family up there.
A friend and I were throwing a frisbee near the beach when Herb walked by and asked if he could toss a couple with us.
I didn’t recognize him initially, but his voice sounded familiar. My friend’s dad nudged me and said, “do you know who that is?”
I said no, but that he sounded familiar. I used to listen to all the Indians games on the radio and he had that very distinguishable voice.
Herb introduced himself and talked with us for a couple minutes. Super nice guy.
As he was about to walk off, we asked if he wanted to still throw the frisbee. He said “if you’d have recognized me, maybe. But I guess you didn’t,” and slammed the frisbee right over his knee shattering it into four pieces. He threw one of them right into the ocean and laughed and signed the other three for me, my friend and his dad.
Then he just walked off into the sunset as the Blue Angels streaked over his head.
