I made if quite …
I made if quite clear I was discussing WOODEN BATS, so good eye kid. If you are going off topic and discussing gloves, balls, etc, NO company (yes literally none) in the USA make all of their products only in the USA when it comes to Baseball Sporting Goods Manufacturers.

Then what I meant …
Then what I meant to say was that Rawlings GLOVES are made in the Philippines. I wasn’t trying to prove you wrong. So there’s no need to write a speech about it. And the gloves have a tag that says, “Made in the Philippines.” So don’t even try with that one.

you clearly have no …
you clearly have no personal attachment to these countries. As I wrote and I am 100% correct about, the wooden bats are made in the USA…and if you need more specifics, they are from the Mountain range in upper New York State – where production also happens. I’ve personally been there and made them. I’ve also got two friends who make bats for Louisville Slugger…also USA made. Good try though.

Hey super fan, …
Hey super fan, should spend less time worrying about this type of content for players and more on if they are going to raise hotdog prices at the stadium. I use Akadema in college and I know they are the only company making baseball gloves (Patriot Series), wood bats and aluminum bats in the US. News flash…You should double check your facts.

they mentioned all the stuff being US made, and basically showed a wooden bat being created…news flash, RAWLINGS and LOUISVILLE SLUGGER are both 100% American made.

our hs team was sponsored by akadema and it was complete shit, the bags ripped and the zippers fell off, the bats broke all the time with no pop at all, cheap wouldnt give us gloves, the only decent thing they make

I’d rather wait for …
I’d rather wait for a craftsman to create a bat and chisel each bat by hand (Like the one that they showed on ‘How It’s Made’) than buy one of these :S
