A Follow
Up to the Left-Handed Baseball Bat
I have to tell you, I
got a lot of interesting response to my April Fools
email a couple of days ago.
The next day after my
email, I attended my son's high school baseball
game. I was surprised how many of the parents on the
team receive our emails. Several approached me and
said they enjoyed the story, and many bought the
April Fools joke hook, line, and sinker. But, they
had fun with it too.
I would say the
funniest response I got was from my friend Jerry. He
received my email as did a couple of his co-workers.
His co-workers didn't get the email directly from
me, but through folks like you. He said one of the
folks at his company was fooled big-time on this
one. Imagine that, a person who works for a bat
manufacturer believed there was a left-handed bat.
Maybe all those years of innovation in the bat
industry, he believed it could happen….maybe it can
and will some day.
For the BioForce
family member that actually got upset at me, called
me a couple of choice words and was very descriptive
of me, and wanted to be removed from our list, I'm
sorry you took the tongue and cheek story
personally. Just trying to have some fun dude.
Lighten up. It wasn't about you…..or maybe it was
about you.
What did I learn from
this joke? That most of you do like to read stories.
It makes learning a lot more interesting. It also
told me that many of you do read our emails. That's
very reassuring. I do want you to know that the
story about this game was true….except for the bat
of course. The game we had on Wednesday against the
same team, well, we didn't fare that well. Lost 8 to
zip. The third and decisive game is scheduled at our
field this afternoon. Been raining a little this
morning. Hope we get the game in.
The other thing I
learned, from my great friend Jerry, is that there
is an advantage to wrapping the grips differently
for left-handed hitters because of the torque put
onto the grip. Interesting.
As for the April
Fools sale…it's still going for a few more hours.
Until 9 pm (pst) this evening. About 11 hours left
to save 20% on anything we sell on the site. Jump on
the opportunity before it's gone in a few more
hours.
Be sure to type in
the word "fools" upon checkout in the coupon box. If
you don't type that in, the shopping cart won't
calculate your discount.
And I want to thank
all of you for forwarding my emails on to others.
We've had a lot of new traffic from your spreading
the word about BioForce. Thank you very much.
So, until next time….
Train Like a
Champion!
