Baseball
Baseball season has started for High School. Junior Traveling
teams are practicing and the Jaycee summer tee ball, baseball and softball
registration is under way for this spring. You have until March 28th to sign up
and save some money. After the 28th the price per registration goes up. Forms
are available here at Thurman’s and feel free to call if you have questions. We
may not have all the answers to the summer ball program but we can point you in
the right direction if we don’t.
We have a great selection of baseball gloves and bats as well as gloves and bats
made just for fast pitch softball. When you buy a glove or bat from Thurman’s
remember that you will receive assistance in finding the correct size. There is
nothing worse than heading out to a summer game only to watch your little one
drop the game winner because the glove they have is too big or too small. The
same is true with bats. If the bat is too heavy, then your player is swinging
below and behind the pitch every time. The right bat is often the difference
between a good and a great batter.
Not only is it important to find the correct size of glove but to also find a
glove that is soft and pre-formed to accept a baseball or softball. So many big
box store gloves use stiff, unworked leather that is then folded and placed in a
container with hundreds of other gloves. All of our gloves come pre-formed and
are shipped to us in containers that allow the glove to stay curved and not
flatten out. Also, check the back of the glove to see what material was used to
make the glove. Our gloves are all leather, front, back and throughout. Most big
box store gloves use nylon, lycra, imitation leather and plastic on the back of
the glove to keep the manufacturing costs down. Although they may look “flashy”,
nothing stands up to the wear and tear that a glove receives like leather.
We also carry a full line of baseball and softball shoes, both in metal and
plastic cleats. If you find yourself sliding around the bases or not finding any
traction in the outfield come check out a cleated shoe. Most players find that a
good shoe with cleats makes them faster, corner better, and have a more secure
feel in the batter’s box.
Sliding shorts, sliding pads, batting helmets with face guards are just some of
the protective wear we carry. You’ll also find full sets of catching gear for
all ages.
For practice or for team uniforms look no further for the best prices in quality
pants, jerseys, socks, belts and caps. We carry Wilson, Mizuno, Russell, Nike
and Adidas. You’ll find all sizes from youth small thru adult 3X. If you need a
set of uniforms call or stop in and we’ll help you pick out a uniform that
stands out from the rest. We do our own printing and embroidery in house so our
turn-around is quicker than our competitions. If you are coaching one of the
many Jaycee ball teams you can find the shirt and cap order form online.
Finally, print off the
baseball coupon found here and receive 10% off all baseball and
softball purchases throughout the season. The smell of popcorn is in the air so
what are you waiting for? Great quality products and service are waiting for you
at Thurman’s Bike & Sport.
