USA Fastpitch

Usa-fastpitch

You may already be aware that I operate The Fastpitch News Blog locate at http://Fastpitch.US. Many time I need to find information about softball players that have been former Olympians. One thing I noticed ater a while is that there was not a really easy to use website that has all the former softball Olympians listed. To make it easy on myself, and to create a helpful website for other I created http://USAfastpitch.com.

Basically USAfastpitch is just a simple site that list every softball player that played for Team USA in the Olympics. I hope you find it helpful.

Infielder Faceguards.

728x90_faceguards
If you have been involved in fastpitch softball a long time you have seen a big change in player protection over the years. I remember when I added faceguards to all my players softball helmets back in the mid 90's. We were the only team we ever saw that every player wore a faceguard. Sometimes people would ask us why we wore football helmets. I guess they were a new thing to see at the time. Now helmet faceguards are mandatory in most leagues, and you even see college players wearing them.

Faceguards have now moved into the infield. If you go to almost any youth softball game you will probably see the pitcher, or another infielder wearing an infielder faceguard. The amount of players wearing infielder faceguards is growing at a fantastic pace. Lets face it, who wants to see their kid suffer unneeded pain from an accident with a softball.

As the number of players wearing faceguards grows, so do the amount of manufacturers making infielder faceguards. Where their was one company manufacturing infielder faceguards just a few years ago, there are now almost a dozen. 

The website Faceguards.com is a great place to shop for infielder faceguards, because that is all they sell. This is a small site that stocks and sells one thing, and one thing only Faceguards. If you want to see a large selection of Faceguards, on an easy to shop website then you need to visit Faceguards.com

SoftballJunk.com

Sball

SoftballJunk.com is a website I am particularly fond of. I personally built this website back in the mid 90's, so I have fond memories of those times. At the time I started the SoftballJunk.com it was the first website on the Internet dedicate strictly to fastpitch softball equipment.

Yes, there were other websites that sold softball equipment, but most focused on slowpitch softball equipment, and fastpitch softball equipment was a secondary product. Others were baseball equipment websites that carried softball as a secondary product.

Being the first website dedicated to fastpitch softball equipment caused SoftballJunk.com to become an over night success. Actually the hardest thing about starting the company was finding vendors that would sell to us. It is a lot harder to set up a new account with many national vendors than you would think. To this day there are companies that still will not sell to us for one reason or another.  Ringor Cleats won't sell to me to this day, because they say people will think their products are junk if they are on a website named Softball Junk. I don't think that would happen, but who am I to know. Then there is Under Armour. Their rep told me he would have todie before I could carry their products. I really don't understand that one at all, but he told me that face to face in Austin, Texas. I really don't want to sell Under Armour equipment that bad.

SoftballJunk.com has built their brand on great prices, and great service. You should visit their website and see for yourself.
