Here is a vintage photo from the Akron Beacon Journal from 1990. They used Danny Williams for the photo. Ha! Ha!


The Only People Who Never Fail Are Those Who Never Try.

Thanks for stopping by the House Of Swing web site. You can surf through the site and read some of the interesting articles that I have wrote about from my years of playing Big Time Softball. While you are here you can look at the Anaconda Sports products that I sell. You have to check out the latest Senior Softball bat that Anaconda and Combat Sports Inc. have put on the market. It's called the Senior Gear and I have endorsed the bat. We did a lot of testing with this bat and we feel we have come up with one of the hottest bats on the softball scene today. All I can say is that you won't be sorry once you have hit this softball bat. They are hot right out of the wrapper. We have them in 13 barrels along with the 10 inch. Get yourself one of these bats and get ready for the season and hold on...
Check out the line of softballs from Trump/Stote that I represent.. I can get you the Evil Sports softballs also. Just give me a call at 330-419-0205 and let me get you your softball equipment. If you need a cateloge e-mail me and I will get one sent right out to you. Let me help you take you game to the next level.

The Softball Season is here. The softball season is right around the corner.With some of the southern states having good weather earlier than we do up North they have already started playing.It's also that time of the year for sellng softballs and I have been very busy doing just that. The X-Rocks are going out the door like wildfire. The X-Rocks are great balls. You can't go wrong hitting these balls anywhere. Anaconda has the Classic M 40/325 in stock along with the latest ball from Evil Sports the Evil Max which is 44/575 compression. Give me a call @ 330-419-0205. Thanks.

I went down to Jacksonville, Florida again to work at the Classic Spring Training event that is put on by Curt Hollis and his family. You really have to go to one of these events to appreciate the family atmosphere that Curt and his wife Debbie provide for you. There was a ton of players there once again from all over the country. Got to see some old friends and then make some new ones as well. 2008 USSSA MVP Johnny McCraw was once again hitting some deep bombs as well as helping the players with their swings. John is very good when it comes to helping hitters.There were a number of new sponsors for the event this year. Kevin Bass was there representing his own company called Bass Gloves. Bob Woodfruff was there representing a new bat that has been working on called Sluggo. Bobby Nifong was there representing Combat Sports. Joey Michaels was there once again workiong with players and not only did he help with playing tips he helped provide help with some of the sponsorship with his company that he works for called MonaVie. The one person that really makes the event is Rob Harris, owner of WalkOff Sports. He is there providing ball players with really great prices on bats and anything else you need when it comes to softball. It's a pleasure when you see him at this event. He really does do a good thing for Curt. I hope to see everyone down there again next year.

 

 

This past weekI received an e-mail from Kelly McKeowen stating that he is leaving the ASA after 13 years of working for the association. Kelly, who thought it was the right time to move on is now going to work with the Oklahoma Thunder in the NBA. Good Luck on your new job Kelly.
