How do I start a summer baseball camp?

March 29th, 2010 Posted in Baseball | 3 Comments »

My friend and I are experienced baseball players graduating college in May. We would love to get into coaching baseball and believe starting a summer baseball camp in our hometown of Weymouth, MA would be a great start. The only problem is we do not know the proper procedure to do so. What steps should we take in order to plan our camp? Are there any legal issues we should know about? Any advice would be great.

More power to you. I was wanting to do the same thing. I just don’t have the bread because the liability insurance is a killer.
Addendum: Rock Firestorm is right on. I gave him a thumbs up. However, I DID NOT give Jcc the thumbs down. That’s in poor taste and uncalled for, imho.

What role does nutrition play in feelings after exercise?

March 26th, 2010 Posted in Nutrition | 2 Comments »

I eat a healthy diet with fruits and vegetables and it is fairly balanced. I also think I eat enough. Do i need to worry about proper nutrition if I exercise at a higher intensity such as running for up to 25 minutes? Is it possible to get exercise migraines if you don’t have proper nutrition?

Yes you can get a migraine from over exertion. Migraines can come from cutting something out of your diet. Your migranes could also be coming from not having enough water flowing through your blood. Try drinking more water and see if your migraines go away.

How did Baseball go from the national past time to the most boring professional sport in America?

March 26th, 2010 Posted in Baseball | 10 Comments »

Growing up baseball was the sport. It was America’s past time. Now I call it sports purgatory because it is the most boring time of all the four major sports in America. I am just glad that the World Cup is on this summer.

What happened? How did baseball fall? Was it steroids? The unions? Greedy owners? Unnecessary expansion? All the strikes? ESPN SportsCenter’s emphasis on highlights as opposed to the story of a baseball game? Price of tickets?

Here’s an analytical perspective. Baseball was THE SPORT of the Radio Age. Young Kids and their sports obsessed fathers sitting by a Radio listening to announcers describe "Towering balls hit by (Insert Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, etc. here) that could reach the moon" They’d sit there and even keep an at home scorecard. Everything was described BIG. Curveballs went from head to toe. Home Runs were 400 foot blasts. All these descriptions filled a lot of space.

To this day some folks listen to radio broadcasts of Baseball instead of watching the TV Broadcasts. I watched the Yankee games with the sound off and turned the radio on until Michael Kay went to TV. Now I actually listen to the TV’s sound.

Then came TV. And we got to see that Pitchers spend a lot of time scratching themselves between pitches. Curveballs don’t go head to toe. Oh yeah and 400 ft. is from here to where I parked my car.

Then came the Highlight reel. This actually helped baseball for a while.

Then came the digital age. Games, PC’s (Or Macs), etc. Things started getting faster. Basball didn’t. (And no help from the Human rain delay Steve Trachsel mind you.) Football, Basketball, and Hockey (All very condusive to TV) get faster. Video Games of those sports rival the pace of the real games. Baseball’s games. Well, to this day only one company has gotten a Baseball video game right. Acclaim’s All Star Baseball (Now out of business no longer making that game because all their other games stunk.)

Baseball is sort of an Athletic Chess. It’s just a slower game. They’ve tried to incease Home Run output in hopes of increasing interest. However, I think they failed. For years, Baseball was the US’s answer to Soccer. Our slow defensive game with a 3-2 score. The anticipation for the one big blow. The Home Run to ice the game had us captivated. The same way the rest of the world waits for that moment the announcer yells GOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!! But, Home Runs happen all the time now.

So now Baseball to the younger generation is a slow game with great highlight reels. Watching it for them is difficult. Some guy scratches himself a lot while the announcer tells you how great his record is when pitching in day games on the equinox if he’s at least more then 450 nautical miles North by Northwest of Fiji.

All that said. I do love Baseball. So much.

Why does a baseball pitcher start on a mound higher than the batters box?

March 20th, 2010 Posted in Baseball | 4 Comments »

Fast pitch softball pitchers start on a level plane from the batter. Why does a baseball pitcher have to be higher?

A higher mound gives the pitcher an advantage. After the 60s era of the pitcher they actually lowered the mound to reduce the edge pitchers had. In the late 90s there was serious consideration to raising the mound some more.

What the higher mound does is it adds a slight amount of velocity as you can use the mound to add momentum to your throw. It also adds a sharper angle to your pitches as well as giving you more room for specialty pitches.

The reason you don’t see it in softball is that softball is meant to be a game of hitting. Since the pitcher is throwing underhand they gain nothing in velocity from a raised mound. Softballs are easier to hit but harder to hit farther. So again the edge for the pitcher is unecessary. Having a level mound also reduces risk of injury. So for most people who play softball this is a concern.
