First Baseman
First Basemans Gloves – Features and Selection
With the sun beating down your neck and the bases loaded, the pressure on you, the first baseman, is overwhelming. Did we mention that you play for the majors? The roar and rumble of the crowd, the dust rising up and glistening in the sunlight, the glares of the opposing team all around, – it can be a tough place to focus. And then it happens. Bat hits ball, the fans roar, and second base suddenly throws you fire. Before you can even think about it, you react with the “instinct” that has been trained and integrated into your mind and into your arms for years. And when you look down you have done it. The ball’s in your hand. The batter’s out and you’ve won the game.
We all wish that this were us! The fame, the recognition, and most importantly the achievement of something extraordinary. But we need to remember that a huge step toward reaching a goal as big as baseball legacy requires a lot. Motivation, discipline, talent, – and the right equipment.
That’s where Akadema comes in. Akadema is the glove of choice for over 200 colleges and universities. Known as being “on the cutting edge of sports technology,” and backed by Hall of Famers galore, Akadema knows baseball and is loved by many aspiring big leaguers. From little league to college play, from Triple A to World Series, Akadema is there. And when you are ready to choose a glove, choose them. How do you find the glove that is right for you? It is easier than it looks despite the wide selection and variety out on the market right now.
Why consider Akadema? While there are definitely a lot of celebrity endorsers out there, you have to remember that when a baseball pro backs a product, he knows what he is talking about. You will rarely find an athlete who blindly endorses. They know what they are talking about, and when it comes to Akadema, there are a lot of ball players who have something to say!
Hall of Fame legends Ozzie Smith and Carl Yastrzemski know the importance of choosing a glove that is the right fit for you. It isn’t just about the first basemen and pitchers anymore, as these celebrities and many others are endorsing the gloves for all types of players! Both of these legends serve as senior advisors to the Akadema family, and anything that comes through the pipe more than likely went through them, or others of equal achievement, before it went to any store shelves.
Akadema has the advice of these big hitters and skilled catchers behind them to assure you that when choosing the web and backing of your glove, it is up to personal preference. Whatever makes you play better and feel more comfortable and competent is the glove for you.
And while they may be millionaires, they haven’t lost sight of value of a dollar. Join the wise players that know that Akadema gives great quality for a smaller price than the major labels do. You won’t be compromising with Akadema, you will just be agreeing with the pros.
