It’s intra-mural softball season again and I have decided to get in the game to hopefully shed some of this winter hibernation weight.
Well, for me it wasn’t like I was hibernating, but rather drinking too much alcohol.
Anyhoo…
It’s time for me to take out the dusty old glove and the rusty old bats, but you can best believe my footwear will be crispy as ever, at least for the first game.
I’ve got my eyes on the NIKE MVP series of baseball cleats. These are like the ones that MANNY RAMIREZ wears.
Everyone on my team pitches a bitch with me for wearing metal cleats. Its not like I have ever slid. Evar.
I just like wearing what the pros wear even if my game is mostly fanboy meets waterboy.
I’ll prA’li end up wearing the molded cleats though since I will be playing first base again this year.
I’m something like MO VAUGHN and RUSTY STAUB combined with Mo’ Better Blues and a rusty nail. You don’t want no parts of this mang.
Just so long as you aren’t a “softball guy” that we see at the sports bar following a big time victory. Dudes that need a $300 bat with the liquid core, the $250 Nike glove and a $500 Piazza mustache ride.
Funk the Big League Chew, we ride with hip flasks.
I don’t know how you aren’t wearing the Griffey’s.

^ You are insane to think I will be wearing my Swingman’s in the dirt!

^Hilarious!
DP – Go with replaceable spikes if you have the option. After 20+ years of continued cleat wearing replaceables are the butters. Cleats will wear to what ever angles your feet pronate at and when you’re rocking moldeds its a Reynolds with a lot of wear left in the uppers..
^ Diesel,
I have at least a dozen pairs of cleats in the archives. I just replace them every year with a new pair, but yeah, the oldest pair of molded joints is def on some lean back shit
i got kicked out of football practice once for wearing my metal spikes….i had to run laps…but i’ll be damned if i didn’t look good doing so!
How much does the manny ramirez cleats that he uses cost????
