My son’s little league is back in full gear and I bought him a new Nokona glove to try out.  We’re still breaking it in but he’s already made a couple of nice plays in the field with it.  I also have a new toy of my own.  I picked up a new Demarini baseball bat for my softball league.  The bat gave me just enough extra pop to put one over the fence this past week.
