Season Over - Storing your Equipment

As fall hits us and the season comes to a close. It is important to care for your baseball equipment, to get it ready for the winter season. Ball gloves should be oiled slightly and wrapped in cloth, with 3 or 4 baseballs in the pocket. It is important to make sure that you don't lose the pocket you spent all summer working on. Also, all wood bats should be stored some place dry as they will collect moisture in a damp basement. This makes them heavier the following summer.

Make Mom happy by keeping all your gear in one place - a closet is usually a good idea. If you need a new glove, now is the best time to ask your parents or wallet if you can have one. This will give you the time necessary to get it into shape. We all know how long it takes to get the glove just right.

Kids - just because baseball is over doesn't mean you stop working at getting better. Make sure to keep running, do push ups to build upper body strength and throw a football atleast once a week if it gets to cold for a baseball.
