A few updates that we’ve mentioned on social media, including Robbie Cano’s makeover from Nike to NB and Franklin. Above are two custom pairs done by Mache Custom Kicks, the first hard evidence that Robbie is officially an NB guy after seeing him pose with Jose Bautista in some NB […]

When I was a young kid, I wanted Ken Griffey Jr’s glove for Christmas, and I wanted to leave no margin for error for my mom who I hoped would buy it for me.  So I went looking for the exact model information, and I found it, thanks to a […]

Quick note to let you guys know that Louisville Slugger has teamed up with Lizard Skins to offer select cuts pre-wrapped with the bat wrap that is taking over the Big Leagues at no extra charge.  Some reading this might think “taking over” is an overstatement for the kind of grips […]

By Brian Duryea Since we last discussed Louisville Slugger’s 915 Prime performance at the junior home run derby, with its draw jawping power, as well as its sighting in the hands of the Wizard, the bat line continues to make headlines as it releases to the public in just a few short days. […]

I don’t think anyone could have said it better than @sluggernation right there.  Every day should be Mother’s Day, but today is the day that just about everybody in baseball jumps on board to SHOW just how much they love mom, and the most obvious way is the use of […]

This off-season we’re taking inventory.  We’ve done enough research to make a pretty accurate assessment of brand popularity around the MLB, so we’re breaking down the most popular glove brands among the MLBs best (we did this with bats, too).  We’ve done 79 player profiles so far, and in the […]
