MLB 11 The Show Video: Gameplay Footage From Community Event

I once hit a homerun that bounced right on top of the leftfield fence and then bounced over for a homerun haha. Happened to me in The Show as well

if it wasn't for guys like us, those big boys' 3 run game winning homeruns wouldn't exist.

I still miss playing, definitely need to find an adult league to join this spring.

I haven't played adult baseball in 2 years, the last two years, I've played softball, but we are considering playing baseball again this summer. A friend of ours, who moved away for his job, has recently moved back(still with the same job), so the boys of summer are back.

Look out rec league baseball, here we come. LOL

Aha! So there ARE others who was taught to do it this way! I do agree with the common sense part of it, that if it's a matter of stutter-stepping to do so it would be counterproductive. The most important part is to keep your full stride.

On the subject of still playing, I haven't played Stan Musial since I tore my rotator cuff several years ago. I'm thinking about playing in a 30 and over league this year, though, as my arm feels good and I can still bring some heat (for a slightly out of shape 35 year old, that is!).

Ah, the joys of getting older...the older I get the better I was!
