I wonder how baseball cleats would do on that loose dirt....

The mechanics gloves are good. They're just a little bit pricey, so I haven't bought a pair. My usual grocery store started stocking the latex-coated work gloves. I hadn't bought a pair of those yet at other stores because I HATED the colors (I'm vain) but these were made out of bamboo cloth instead of cotton and were a MANLY dark brown. Since they were all of $3.00 I sprung for a pair. We'll see how they work out, today.

We also don't have a cage here where we practice, we just make sure nobody is within range.
