This system has gone 19-3 +16 units during that span.</p><br /><p><b>Baseball Betting System #2</b></p><br /><p>Home Favorites havier than -150 against non-divisional foe before game #100 with a 55% or better record in game 2 or later of a series coming off a game in which they gave up double digit points and lost but scored at least 4 themselves.</p><br /><p>This is 24-4 over the past 7 years, 7-0 L2 years and wins on average by 3 runs per game.</p><br /><p><b>Baseball Betting System #3</b></p><br /><p>Momentum is key late in the MLB season. Since the season is long, motivated teams at the end of the year will beat unmotivated teams.

This is a huge element that must be considered for any sports.</p><br /><p>In football, teams off of a bye are much more rested, prepared, and motivated and win at a larger percentage.</p><br /><p>In the NBA teams with little to zero days of rest are tired and lethargic and have trouble keeping pace. They may be able to play well in the first half but lose their thunder by the second half.</p><br /><p>This concept is not fully understood by most people as it relates to baseball because there is reason to believe under certain circumstances days rest for a baseball team can be lethal if they are on a winning streak and great if they are on a losing streak. Baseball is all about momentum so teams want to get back out on the field the very next day if they have been winning. Another thing to note is that the baseball players are not active all 3 hours of the day so they are able to come out and play at full 100% strength the next day.</p><br /><p>In summary, successful <b>sports handicapping</b> consists of looking into how many days of rest the teams have had before laying any action on them.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p>Check our site for <a id="link_67" href="http://www.nflsystems.com/daysrest.html" target="_New">days rest and other sports handicapping betting systems</a> that win at a 60% or better strike rate.</p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>small-dog-traininghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904834066457467236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978110876582105320.post-13166281350543744492007-10-07T20:40:00.001-07:002007-10-07T20:40:43.800-07:00Jacked Up Baseball Equipment Truths!<div id="body"><br /><p>Baseball: the great all-American pastime. Few of us can remember a summer from our childhood that did not include throwing a ball around or running the diamond. Today, baseball is all of that and much more. Baseball equipment has become as advanced as the space station…well, maybe not that advanced, but it is certainly more complicated than when we were kids! The point is baseball is not just a game anymore.</p><br /><p>A few years ago, you grabbed your wooden bat and baseball and headed to the park for a game. However, the days of wooden bats are over (at least in the unprofessional realm of the sport). Today, everything is alloy and not just aluminum either. Boasting magnesium, scandium, and even titanium, the bats of today are far more advanced than their predecessors – but the advancement in technology does not stop there. Many new bats on the market offer graphite cores and even two-piece bats to eliminate vibration.</p><br /><p>When it comes to advancements in baseball equipment technology, gloves were not left out. Once simply made of leather, the old fashioned kind made from cows, many gloves on the market are now available in buffalo, kangaroo, and pigskin, not to mention the numerous grades of cow and steer hide offered. The major differences in each type of hide is the softness and durability of the material, which determines the amount of time necessary to break it in and, of course, how long the glove lasts.</p><br /><p>To the best of my knowledge, luckily, baseballs have not changed much over the years. Unless there is a square ball out there I am unaware of, the balls of the past are still used to play the game today.</p><br /><p>With all of the advances in baseball equipment, is it any wonder records are constantly being broken? If the tools really do make the man, baseball equipment should be producing superstars, as that is the technology form which they come.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p>Mike Corrado brings you smoking cheap baseball equipment at <a id="link_70" href="http://www.cheapbaseballequipmentonline.com/" target="_new">http://www.cheapbaseballequipmentonline.com</a></p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>small-dog-traininghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904834066457467236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978110876582105320.post-83882066816442698822007-10-02T01:35:00.001-07:002007-10-02T01:35:59.995-07:00Baseball Betting Lines<div id="body"><br /><p>On its face sports’ gambling can look easy, but in fact betting on sports like baseball requires some serious thought. You can probably look in your local newspaper to get baseball betting lines, but what do you really know about the odds makers that came up with them. How do you make an informed decision about baseball betting lines if you don’t know the underlying facts that were used to create them?</p><br /><p>The solution is to consult a good expert that provides the additional information you want to be able to place one or more bets that you’re comfortable with. For example, suppose you find out that the Yankees are favored to win their next game with the Red Socks, but you want to place a bet on the outcome of the whole series. You’ll want to know what are the hot betting trends on these games and the baseball betting lines on each game.</p><br /><p>Are there any injuries to key players that might affect the outcome? What about the pitching, do the Yankees have a strong pitcher to start the series, but are one or more relief pitchers having a bad streak? And, what about the hitting? There are many factors to consider and a good expert will provide the information for you and help you to make a decision on baseball betting lines that will increase your odds of winning your bets. Betting on sports is fun and baseball betting lines can be a great help, but the informed bettor finds its even more fun to consistently place the right bet.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p>Professional SEO.

And, if you really are a baseball player, you definitely know that the discussion is between aluminum bats and wood baseball bats.</p><br /><p>One important piece of information you should know is that, in softball, little and senior league and college baseball, most of the bats are made up of aluminum. And yet, when it comes to professional baseball, players say that wood baseball bats are a must. You are now probably wondering what you should choose between these two baseball bat types. And that is why we are here, to discuss the pros and the cons of each type.</p><br /><p>Nowadays, baseball bats can be purchased for as low as $25, but you can also buy more expensive $500 bats. A professional player will not choose a bat according to its price, and it all boils down to how he “feels” it. In the professional league, only wood bats are used, and Major League Baseball does not even allow corked bats. Most of the bats are made of ash, but maple, bamboo and hickory are also choices for baseball bats. Lately, more and more players gave up to hickory bats, as they are much heavier than the rest of the woods. Many are now opting for maple bats. Maple baseball bats are increasingly more popular because of its hardness and durability.</p><br /><p>Some players also say that they prefer wood baseball bats because of the traditional look and feel. The sound made when the bat hits the ball is vastly different. They say a “crack” sounds way better than the “ping” sound of an aluminum bats hitting the ball.</p><br /><p>But aluminum baseball bats are very popular too. They are often seen in all the different baseball leagues, except the professional ones. Why is this? Well, simply because a ball hit with an aluminum bat gets more speed. But this is a positive thing you might say. In fact things are not exactly like that. Due to the fact that they are lighter, a greater distance of the ball can now be achieved with less batter strength. And due to that, several players were injured. Due to the fierceness of the rebound of the aluminum bat, the reaction time of the pitchers is smaller. To prove this, in 1970, when aluminum baseball bats were firstly introduced, the batting average rose 30 points, and home run hits doubled. The game is simply not the same with lighter bats made from aluminum or other materials.</p><br /><p>Overall though, buying a baseball bat is a personal decision. You'll definitely want to go with a baseball bat manufacturer that offers lots of customization so you can build the baseball bat most suitable to your size, weight, height and strength. Many also prefer to choose their colors and add a signature but few bat manufacturers allow such customization and personalization due to manufacturing cost factors. So if you are not a professional baseball player, you simply choose the baseball bat that suits you best.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p>By Michael Shapiro for Baseball-Bats-HQ.com Why settle for a regular bat when you can personalize and customize your own <a id="link_72" href="http://www.baseball-bats-hq.com/" target="_new">baseball bat</a>?

We players take that for granted as we grab our trusted slugger and head to the plate. Who ever would have thought that the smash hit you're aiming for has already undergone that kind of pressure?</p><br /><p>It's actually fascinating, the process and the concept. These days though, that process of customizing a baseball bat is almost passe. Most baseball bat makers today are leaping into the future of technology by using the ever so prevalently relied upon laser method for engraving their logos and signatures onto their bat products.</p><br /><p>The old fashioned way entails Brand or Foil stamping, which may be inducing an undue amount of pressure on the wood fibers that are the ultimate composition of the carved baseball bat. The potential for that pressure against the wood to cause internal fissures and damage that would be impossible to expose or be aware of is no longer necessary to do.</p><br /><p>This would be allowing for the baseball bat to be experienced full force as a hitting device, with no prior events to test its density and effect the solidity of its mass. Looking for the laser emblazoned baseball bats may prove to be a jump on having a more reliable and durable slugger.</p><br /><p>Who wants to have all points in line, a sure swing ready for a home run, and just as ball meets bat, the splinter in the wood that you had no way of knowing was splitting with every hit, suddenly cracks? Don’t risk losing your favorite, home run bat.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p>Mike Long is the successful web publisher of Baseball-SuperGuide.com providing valuable tips, advice, and info about a multitude of relevant topics including <a id="link_68" href="http://www.baseball-superguide.com/baseball-bats.html" target="_new">baseball bats</a>.</p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>small-dog-traininghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904834066457467236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978110876582105320.post-11242437350268441212007-09-17T06:06:00.003-07:002007-09-17T06:06:19.650-07:00Mets Finish an Extraordinary Baseball Season<div id="body"><br /><p>Mets finish an Extraordinary Baseball Season</p><br /><p>Wow!

Baseball is America's classic pastime and has been enjoyed for generations and generations. Watching a game of baseball in person gets you closer to the heart and soul of the game than watching it on television. If you have never seen a baseball game in person then you are missing out on the feel of being in a stadium full of fans, hearing the crack of the bat, and enjoying the real outdoors and sunny weather.</p><br /><p>There is also the thrill of catching a foul ball, or catching a home run. And when at a baseball game, you know that your favorite team can hear your cheers. Watching a baseball game on television is a passive activity. Being at the game makes you an active part of the action. You are part of the sights and the sounds. You are actually a part of what the people watching the game from their home see on their television.</p><br /><p>Many baseball games go down in history as legendary events. There are no bragging rights in saying you saw that legendary games on television; you need to actually be there. Have you ever wished you had witnessed some of the greatest events in baseball history, such as home run race victories, milestone at bats, no hitters, extra inner World Series victories, and classic comebacks? There is no replacement for actually being there, seeing it happen in person, and being a part of the roar of the crowd that other people wish they could be a part of.</p><br /><p>Seeing a baseball game in person is also a great way to spend the day or night with your family or friends. Sitting on the couch watching the game on television is no substitute to going to the game with some of your best friends, coworkers, or family members. Seeing a baseball game in person is a bonding experience, and something that your family will always remember. It is an American rite of passage to be taken to a baseball game by your father, and that is something you do not want your son or daughter to miss out on. Your children only get one childhood, and there is no going back once they have missed out on a treasured experience. <a id="link_50" href="http://www.hotseats.com/" target="_new">Hot Seats</a> makes buying baseball tickets easy and inexpensive, so there is no excuse to not attend a baseball game in person.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p>Since 1984, <a id="link_51" href="http://www.hotseats.com/" target="_New">Hot Seats Ticket Service</a> has been a top-quality provider of upfront seating for sports, concerts, and special events.

More and more people are playing baseball than ever before. And this means buying a new baseball glove, which isn’t often an easy task. A new baseball glove is stiff and hard to bend when you first buy it. This means that you need to break in your new glove so that it fits your hand and gives you the game that you want to have, without fumbling with your new glove. However, buying a new glove doesn’t mean that it’s going to take you a long time to break it in. There are some things that you can do to speed up the process of breaking in your new glove.</p><br /><p>One of the first things that you want to do is wear the glove as often as you can. While wearing the glove make sure that you toss a training ball into it whenever you can. This will help to break in the glove so that when you’re actually on the baseball field you’ll have feel for how the glove catches balls and you’ll also be able to catch those balls much easier. There are oils that are available to keep your glove oiled however, no matter how much it is recommended, you should never oil your baseball glove more than two or three times each year. Too much oiling of your glove will cause the leather to break down much too quickly.</p><br /><p>Another tried and true way to break in your baseball glove is to wrap it up in a towel and sleep with it under your mattress. This is so that the glove softens and the leather is more pliable. There are many other tricks that baseball players use to make their new glove more suitable to their hands. In most cases, no matter what you do, it’s just a matter of time before your new glove starts feeling like an old friend.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p>James Hunt has spent 15 years as a professional writer and researcher covering stories that cover a whole spectrum of interest.

Because of the great amount of baseball gambling games that are played over the season, handicappers have a lot of data to analyze and fix the baseball gambling lines.</p><br /><p>Like any other <strong>sports gambling</strong> activity, baseball gambling involves being conscious of the different factors that could affect a game before placing a bet. For example, you should always consider the underdog; because odds could be against him it doesn't mean he cannot win, others factors could demonstrate that. Probabilities show that teams mostly win at their home stadium, so remember to take importance on the home team. Check if any defensive player is injured, not having one of these guys in a game could really affect the outcome of the game, and more if he is one of the best players on the team.</p><br /><p>In <strong>baseball gambling</strong> you should remember that the pitcher is an important part of a team, maybe the most. So you really should pay attention on how he has been doing in past games or any injuries he has suffered recently. His mood, motivation and physical condition could turn the game over.</p><br /><p>Unlike football betting or basketball betting spread, baseball gambling doesn't need to win by a number of points against the other team, but only to win the baseball game.

Therefore you can almost guarantee the novice gambler a losing season. Baseball is money in your pocket because of the way the odds are created.</p><br /><p>Baseball betting odds are based on an estimation on a team's probability of winning the game. This is toughest to gauge by the sportsbook and because most gamblers do not understand this, they have losing seasons betting on baseball too.</p><br /><p>During your past years in betting baseball, how many have you seen odds of like -200 when a pitcher like Randy Johnson or Pedro Martinez is pitching? If you were to bet this game 300 times, you would have to win 200 times to break even. Therefore it is imperative that you analyze the game in detail and make a prediction on a team's probability to win in order to win.</p><br /><p>A few tips for betting baseball that I know improves a team's probability of winning is if the team is coming off of a win, if the team is coming off a series sweep, if the team is playing against a lefty/righty depending on the team's batting strengths, if their pitcher is on a hot streak.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p>Learn additional tips for successful <a id="link_48" href="http://www.easybaseballbetting.com/" target="_new">betting on baseball</a> and you will win large this baseball season.</p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>small-dog-traininghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904834066457467236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978110876582105320.post-37502745314729881632007-09-17T06:04:00.005-07:002007-09-17T06:04:34.811-07:00Baseball Betting<div id="body"><br /><p>If you enjoy sports betting you probably know that baseball betting is truly an art. You can’t just decide that you like the Yankees and bet on them to win every game. In baseball no team wins all of its games and to engage in informed baseball betting there is a lot of research to be done. For example, what do the odds makers say about the line on a game? Is a team favored to win and by how much?</p><br /><p>Of course, just knowing the odds may not even be enough. The odds makers involved in baseball betting may differ so you’ll want to look deeper for information. For example, what is the team’s overall record and specifically what is its record against the team it’s playing next? Are there injuries to key players on either team and how have the starting pitchers been doing lately? You may even want to dig into information about any batting slumps by key hitters.</p><br /><p>You probably won’t find this information in the morning newspaper so if you’re serious about baseball betting you may want to consult with an expert. A good expert does all of the work for you and provides you with the information you need to place bets that have a good chance of being successful. You already know that baseball betting can be fun and you want to make it profitable, so make sure the odds are in your favor. Get all of the information that used to be only available to baseball insiders by checking with an expert.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p>Professional SEO.

Let me tell you something about the sport of Cricket; It is Not as Easy as You Think. Americans love baseball, but in the UK and many other nations like India they love cricket and cricket is about both skill and agility and teamwork. In fact there are 11-people on each team. The players must be swift, talented and work together.</p><br /><p>Cricket balls have seams similar to baseballs, but the bat is flatter with more area. Cricket is played between teams of the same nation and internationally. Cricket fields are played in an elliptical field unlike that of a baseball diamond. Those who have played both sports say that cricket is more difficult and challenging than baseball, yet in the United States, well baseball is like apple pie and Chevrolets, so it is doubtful if that will ever change. Americans love their baseball indeed.</p><br /><p>Cricket is played all around the world, as there are teams in most nations, but in the United States the game has not really caught on like other sports. Cricket matches last a lot longer than baseball games and the cricket teams to stay proficient often train year round. More Americans should learn to play cricket and discover this fun sport.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p>"Lance Winslow" - Online <a id="link_47" href="http://www.worldthinktank.net/" target="_new">Think Tank</a> forum board.

It can become quite a memorable experience for the son and the father as well. Baseball is an American Tradition and is the perfect window to the father, son relationship.</p><br /><p>If you are a father you need to consider the incredible value of attending a baseball game with your son and the sooner you do it the better, as kids grow up all too fast and if you do not plan it now, then when will you do it?</p><br /><p>If you consider the implications of the song; “Cats in the Cradle and the Silver Spoon” you can see how serious it is if you fail to spend time with your son. Baseball is the answer, it is fun, exciting and those memories can last a lifetime. Such experiences should indeed be passed from father to son. By taking your son to a baseball game maybe you will be continuing a tradition or starting another one. Consider taking your son or daughter to a baseball came and think on this in 2006.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p>"Lance Winslow" - Online <a id="link_48" href="http://www.worldthinktank.net/" target="_new">Think Tank</a> forum board.

There was a time when I never used to miss even a single match of cricket.</p><br /><p>More than just watching the cricket, I have felt the cricket running in my veins. I feel that more than everything a have worshiped this game from the core of my heart.</p><br /><p>Cricket is not so much complicated game as others are. You just need a small introduction what it is and you start to know it. If you know baseball, it is going to be even easier for you.</p><br /><p>The answer to the question that two games are similar or not, can be a yes and no as well. Yes, as it has some concepts similar to the cricket but the two games are entirely different.</p><br /><p>The rules of the cricket are much simpler than the baseball rules. If you understand both the games, you can very well compare that cricket is not that much complex.</p><br /><p>So you know baseball. Lett us understand what the things that are conceptually similar are. The concepts of scoring the runs are same. The concept of batting and running are also same.</p><br /><p>Unlike baseball, runs are easy to score in cricket. A batsman can be out in cricket easily. In cricket, there is no penalty if you miss a ball. Unlike baseball, batsmen are always free to run.</p><br /><p>In cricket, the bowlers are free to throw the ball of the line and length they choose. So there are basically numerous differences between baseball and cricket but in my view cricket is much simpler than baseball.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p><b><a id="link_37" href="http://www.easybaseballbetting.com/" target="_new">Free Baseball Picks and Handicapping Betting System</a></b> - More About Baseball</p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>small-dog-traininghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904834066457467236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978110876582105320.post-78732492775758316232007-09-17T06:01:00.007-07:002007-09-17T06:01:52.747-07:00Baseball Tradition<div id="body"><br /><p>Baseball holds a special place in the hearts of many Americans. Regardless of the international appeal of the sport, the United States sees it as a favorite pastime. From street games of stickball or afternoons playing catch in the backyard to professional Minor Leagues and Major League Baseball, people of all ages love this sport.</p><br /><p>Baseball comes in so many forms, aiming to please “children” of all ages. After all, what other career in the known universe pays a person to play a children’s game? Young children who are just beginning to build up hand-eye coordination and are learning to work and a team can sign up for Tee Ball, where the ball is set on a tee with an adjustable height to accommodate the player and no pitcher is present. There also is the the tethered baseball which you can hook up to a tree and hit it for hours. This allows a more older child to hit a ball in motion.</p><br /><p>The basic rules of baseball can be learned early on, and children can start a hobby that will keep them healthy and out of trouble for years to come. Most kids join little leagues and families join in on the weekly events.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p>Peter Portero is a <a id="link_48" href="http://www.easybaseballbetting.com/" target="_New">Baseball</a> author.</p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>small-dog-traininghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904834066457467236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978110876582105320.post-38067045910959253232007-09-17T06:01:00.005-07:002007-09-17T06:01:31.329-07:00Baseball Party Games - Pleasing the Crowd<div id="body"><br /><p>If your son or daughter is a mad-keen fan, it can be great fun to plan their next birthday party around the theme of baseball. Here are a few ideas:</p><br /><p><b>"Baseball Pinata" Baseball Party Game</b></p><br /><p>When it comes to baseball party games, it’s hard to go past a good old piñata. A week or so prior to the party, prepare the piñata by covering a large balloon with glue-soaked newspaper strips layer by layer, leaving a small hole near the neck of the balloon. To keep the inner layers from staying wet, let the piñata dry out every 5 layers. Try and make the shape as close to a circle as possible. Fill the piñata with candy through the hole, cover the hole and paint the dried piñata to resemble a baseball. Guests take turns to put on a blindfold (which can be left off for younger players) and try to break open the piñata with the baseball bat. This baseball party game ends when everyone gets showered with candy.</p><br /><p><b>"Pitcher, Pitcher, Batter" Baseball Party Game</b></p><br /><p>When you’re working with a theme like baseball, party games can easily be adapted to suit. This baseball party game, a variant of “Duck, Duck, Goose”, is one example. All the children except the birthday boy/girl sit in a circle. The birthday boy/girl walks around the outside of the circle, tapping each person on the head and saying “batter”. When they say “pitcher” instead of “batter”, the child who was just tapped must jump up, chasing the other child around the circle. The birthday boy/girl has to run all the way around the circle to the empty spot without being tagged; if they make it back, they stay in spot and the person they tapped becomes the ‘tapper’. If they get tagged, they must sit in the centre of the circle for the remainder of this baseball party game.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p>Mrs. Party...

Maple is a hardwood, which immediately in itself gives the advantage of having a thicker, more dense baseball bat.</p><br /><p>With all baseball bats, you want the manufacturer to be choosing the best quality wood source available. Simply finding a hard rock maple baseball bat is not going to necessarily ensure that it is definitely going to be the item that gets you on base by being more durable and less likely to split or crack. Trees do not grow in compliance with a future as a baseball bat.</p><br /><p>Hard rock maple baseball bats need to be crafted from wood billets that have perfectly straight grain systems. Maple trees do not always grow straight. Choosing the source is extremely important for a manufacturer of hard rock maple baseball bats, since any tree, maple or otherwise, do not always grow straight.</p><br /><p>It may only be through experience that you will figure which manufacturer is taking care to use only carefully selected billets for making their hard rock maple baseball bats. The standards in size for hard rock maple baseball bats will be across the board similar as you look from manufacturer to manufacturer.</p><br /><p>Generally, you will find a heavy head bat, the medium to light, medium even distribution, and small, very light versions are available in similar dimensions as these: 29/32 inches, 2 5/8 inch thin; 15/16 inches thin and 2 3/8; 1 inch medium 2 1/2 inch; 13/16 inch thin 2 3/16 inch.</p><br /><p>Hard rock maple baseball bats usually will be available in a variety of colors, including black cherry, black, blue, red, green, walnut and natural, where the finish is left off the handle, or entirely natural.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p>Mike Long is the successful web publisher of Baseball-SuperGuide.com providing valuable tips, advice, and info about a multitude of relevant topics including <a id="link_48" href="http://www.baseball-superguide.com/" target="_new">baseball equipment</a>.</p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>small-dog-traininghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904834066457467236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978110876582105320.post-31105237948483391802007-09-17T06:01:00.001-07:002007-09-17T06:01:00.261-07:00MLB Baseball History<div id="body"><br /><p>No one knows for sure where baseball exacted originated. However, most baseball buffs will concur that the sport is based on the English game of rounders. In the United States, baseball became popular in the early 1800’s, originally known as townball. At a later date, the sport was renamed baseball. Throughout this period of time, smaller communities formed teams, while larger cities formed leagues.</p><br /><p>There is some question as to who was the original founder of the rules of baseball. Some contend that Alexander Cartwright in 1845 published a list of rules which are still in place today. However, others contend that it was Abner Doubleday who invented the game. However, most baseball historians believe Alexander Cartwright indeed originated baseball.</p><br /><p>The first ever recorded baseball duel was played in 1846 between Alexander Cartwright’s Knickerbockers who play against the New York Baseball Club. The Knickerbockers lost the game at the Elysian Fields, in Hoboken, New Jersey.</p><br /><p>In 1857, a meeting has held and over 25 amateur teams from the Northeast clamored together to hash out rules among other things. The next year, the National Association of Base Ball Players was formed and the teams, needing financial assistance to support the league, intermittently charged the fans an admission fee.</p><br /><p>The 1860’s brought about the Civil War and the interest in baseball, understandably, diminished. After the war, baseball’s popularity began to grown better than ever. The league’s growth resulted in fans being charged a regular admission fee to watch games. The fees were needed to support the league and the ongoing traveling. Winning became important. Although the league was comprised of amateurs, sponsors occasionally paid the players secretly so that the amateur players wouldn’t leave the team. The idea of paid players eventually became the norm. Today, baseball is one of North America’s favorite sports.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p>Catherine Kenyeres is a freelance writer and publisher for <a id="link_50" href="http://www.best-4u-tickets.com./" target="_new">http://www.best-4u-tickets.com.</a> Catherine has written numerous articles for the sports enthusiast.</p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>small-dog-traininghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904834066457467236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978110876582105320.post-48930050448759887932007-09-17T06:00:00.005-07:002007-09-17T06:00:39.576-07:00Creating a Baseball Fantasy League<div id="body"><br /><p>The last decade has seen many changes, one of them being the amazing involvement of individuals in baseball fantasy leagues as well as other fantasy sports. There are no specific rules for baseball fantasy involvement; however an unspoken rule for you to be successful at baseball fantasy games is for you to have a real appreciation and interest in real baseball. These simple steps will help you start a baseball fantasy league that you will really enjoy playing with the whole season.</p><br /><p>Baseball Fantasy Step #1 Calling all Teams</p><br /><p>The first baseball fantasy step to creating a league is getting your teams together. This basically means you need to get 8-12 friends together to create teams. Remember, if you have less than 8 teams or more than 12 your season will not be as enjoyable. The suggested 8-12 baseball fantasy teams mean you will be able to have a competitive season.</p><br /><p>Baseball Fantasy Step #2 Elections</p><br /><p>Every baseball fantasy league needs a commissioner, or someone who is in charge. This person will be responsible for compiling each team’s statistics on a weekly basis and distributing them to all of the players. Be sure you elect a commissioner who is responsible and takes the position seriously.</p><br /><p>Baseball Fantasy Step #3 One League or Two</p><br /><p>This can be a tough decision, but it must be made. This is the decision of whether or not to use only one league or both the American and National Leagues.</p><br /><p>Baseball Fantasy Step #4 The Draft</p><br /><p>Acquiring players can be done in many different ways, and the best way for your baseball fantasy league to do this is what works best for all teams. Sometimes a draft works, other times an auction, decide what works best and then stick with it.</p><br /><p>Baseball Fantasy Step #5 Rules</p><br /><p>Each league has rules so far as statistics and how points are accumulated. Whatever rules apply to your league make sure all teams are aware and follow the rules.</p><br /><p>Baseball Fantasy Step #6 Have Fun</p><br /><p>Remember to have fun and enjoy your baseball fantasy league. This has been going on for years and millions of Americans really enjoy this activity. Some play for money, some play for trophies, and others simply play to win. Whatever you choose to play for, make sure all teams are in favor.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p>Jay Moncliff is the founder of <a id="link_50" href="http://www.baseballcenter.info/" target="_new">http://www.baseballcenter.info</a> a blog focusing on the <a id="link_51" href="http://www.baseballcenter.info/" target="_new">Baseball</a>, resources and articles.

Let us explore a brief history of baseball. As per the records it was found that the first ever game of baseball was played in 1792 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. There was another reference that mentioned that baseball was being played in the peripheries of New York City what was known as Greenwich Village in the year 1823. Another reference showed that Knickerbockers were the first team to play the first game of baseball. The first baseball club was formed in September 23, 1845.</p><br /><p>Baseball is played between two teams and each team has nine players. This game is played with a bat and ball. The ball is thrown by the pitcher to the batter. The batter hits the ball and then runs towards the base. The batter runs to the first base and runs in an anticlockwise direction. These bases are arranged at the corners of a square that is ninety square feet. The game has nine innings in all and in each inning both the teams have the chance to bat and score and half inning of the team ends when three batters are out.</p><br /><p>In the US the professional Major League Baseball teams are branched out into National League and American League. There are also a lot of youth programs where they have smaller fields so that it is easier for the kids to pitch and have softer rules than that of the professional players. These teams of young players are known as minor league teams. The kids are really inspired by the professional players and take them as their mentor. To mention some of the Major League Baseball teams, which are Yankees, Giants, Dodgers, and Diamondbacks.</p></div><br /><div><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><br /><tbody><br /><tr><br /><td valign="top"><br /><div class="sig" id="sig"><br /><p>Mrs. Party...
