When I was a youngster (that was a while ago), I remember how much I loved
going to baseball games with my grandfather. I fondly remember seeing guys like Mickey Mantle and Roger Marris play.
So, even though I have had a life long love affair with the game, when I opened the store in 2003 to make personalized bats
for baseball enthusiasts and little leaguers, I never thought I would get so much joy as I do now,
seeing the kid's faces light up when I hand them their personalized bat.

The young player with the Batman is the 2005 American Legion Player of the year.
His position is catcher. He
attends college at the University of Mass.,
and his free
time is spent at home
in Puerto Rico. |
Parents often ask what we can put on the bat. I say “almost anything within reason”,
which can lead to more interesting conversations.
Anyway, these are the Batman's recommendations. On the first line - your name, on the second line - your team, or Cooperstown, NY.
I sometimes suggest, if you want to keep the bat in his room and not on the diamond, put “Love, Mom”
on the second line. It always gets a laugh! (Even though, it’s never happened yet, I keep trying.) |

I believe bats make a unique gift for the young and the “young at heart”.
So why not give a gift of a bat to each of the ones you love. |
All the best from "The Batman"
