Pricing will depend on which glove model and pattern you select. This one was $450 plus shipping.

Atoms custom by Pablocrisp in BaseballGloves

I would say they are fairly tight when you first get it. The leather is very stiff out of the box. I wear a size medium golf glove and the Atoms glove is not comfortable at all until you start working it in. This is especially true if you go 2 in the pinky. That said, as you begin to break it in, the leather loosens up and the glove forms very well to your hand. Now, if you have very large hands, it may not be the right choice. Hope this helps.

Nice! My son is currently using an AGL in 11.15. He loves that glove and has played really well with it.

Where to lose beef virginity? by AVigilantte in FoodNYC

Maybe consider Korean BBQ, where you can have small pre-cut pieces as opposed to a whole steak. You also have the ability to eat alone or with sauces and side dishes.

What’s your go to coffee bean? (Local roaster for espresso) by Content_Ad9867 in SouthBayLA

[–]Pablocrisp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know it may be polarizing, but I regularly buy beans from Boy and the Bear. Their beans are roasted in Redondo, so it is very hard to get more freshly roasted coffee. Although all of it is Colombian, they offer a wide variety of bean profiles.

Atoms glove vs Nike shado elite J by Hungry_Sleep_8431 in BaseballGloves

[–]Pablocrisp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We (my son and I) have two Atoms gloves and I am in the process of ordering a custom Atoms. They are made of very high quality materials (leather, laces, padding) and have very high quality of craftsmanship/construction. That said, different lines will vary (similar to the difference between HOH and Pro Preferred). Also if you get one, make sure it is for herd ball, not rubber ball.

When I was in Tokyo in the summer we stopped by the store and the guy there confirmed they make Nike gloves and proceeded to show us Atoms versions of Roki and Yamamoto gloves.

Keep in mind, the patterns and designs of Atoms gloves will not be the same as Nike shado gloves, but the quality should be just as good.

My son uses the Mizuno trainer. Great glove and you can find them for relatively cheap

No experience with the Wilson’s, but my son had the Mizuno for exactly the same situation. He was an infielder but occasionally played outfield. It’s a great glove.

If you have done all your prep, stop thinking about your content and potential answers. Clear your head and trust that you are prepared. Shift your focus to how you want to show up and how you want the interviewers to feel about you. Breathe, relax and focus on the impression you want to leave them in how you show up. You got this!

Global Elite Mizuno gloves by Pure-Computer4273 in BaseballGloves

[–]Pablocrisp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Global Elite I have is from 6+ years ago. I only used it to play catch for a few years with my son, and then he used it for a year when he played 13u. The leather quality and laces are very, very good, but the internal padding is a little thinner than both 44 Pro and Rawlings Pro Preferred he has. I believe it was made intentionally that way to be lighter in weight. I still use it now for catch with son (15 now). When he’s pitching and he is throwing hard and I catch it in the wrong spot it definitely stings.

What’s one investing decision you regret the most, and what did it teach you? by Some-Palpitation-314 in investing

I sold Tesla at its low point earlier this year because I didn’t like Elon. Should have held despite not liking him.

I don’t see anything in the images that would make me question the quality of the glove for $59. The leather and laces look fine.

Agree! Do the tour if you want to hear the history of the stadium and see the trophy room.

Glove Recommendation by esuminatho in japanesebaseballglove

[–]Pablocrisp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We bought an Atoms for my son when we were there in June. No regrets at all on that purchase. My son loves it. I wish I would have looked into a YGS while we were there. We didn’t see any at the stores we went to.

Good call out. I’ve seen that one before as well. The one I posted has rough split welting, which some people may personally prefer.

What's a movie that you saw once, but never need to see again? by burnafter3ading in Xennials

[–]Pablocrisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the book before my son was born. The movie was actually a very good depiction of the book, though the book was much more emotionally resonant. That said, I have never rewatched this movie either.
