MBLL - Sand Gnats

We all know that high-grade bats aren’t the least expensive piece of equipment around. As youth players get older, high school leagues require -3 adult bats that often run as high as $400 each. I just wanted to make everyone aware of someone who’s worked with the Bulldogs’ travel teams, who will allow you to try out a couple of bats before potentially buying them. It’s a great opportunity for players to get the "feel" for a particular bat and see which one seems to produce the best results. His name is Earl Singer, and he has a company in Irvine called "The Sporting Good." His cell phone is

One of the best aspects is that Earl’s prices are typically about $25-$50 less than what you’ll usually pay on the Internet and definitely in-store for any high-end bat. I don’t get anything for referrals, but if you get in touch with Earl, just let him know you heard about him from me, and I’m sure he’ll take good care of you. One other small note: If you son’s interested in playing high school ball, it’s a good time to begin transitioning to a heavier bat. Some boys are still using -10 and -13 bats that they used to pound balls in Little League. Soon they’ll need to swing a -3 (lighter bats are illegal in high school), and trying to swing a bat that’s nearly double the weight of what they used before can certainly be difficult.
