Awesome...can't wait for the first practice. I plan on making every one of them. I too encourage players to get some cleats. With even the slightest bit of moisture or even evening dew, you'll be sliding around all over the place without em. I'll be bringing at least two bats, one that should probably be saved for the games if it's too cold out at our practices. I'm already practicing my softball pitching so anyone else who wants to pitch, I look forward to some great competition if it comes down to a tryout. If I don't get the job, I'll gladly play wherever needed. I'm just fired up to play period. Oh yeah, another cheap investment that pays off this time of year, are batting gloves. Not only to keep your hands warm, but to dull the shockwave of swinging and making contact with a cold metal bat. You should be able to get a pair for 10-20 dollars. They're worth it. Oh yeah, I got my jersey, it's fantastic.
