A person's favorite movie tells quite a bit about that person's sense of humor, likes, dislikes, and who his heroes might be. What better way to know a baseball guy, than by his favorite baseball film? Baseball movies are most sacred to those in baseball because stadiums across America are filled with thousands of individuals who feel what Shoeless Joe Jackson felt when he mused: "It was the game... The sounds, the smells " in Field of Dreams. Folks love Moneyball because it represents the underdog who fights like heck to make a way, and beat the system. And films like Trouble With A Curve remind us that some things about the game will never change, and that the soul of the sport will tell you everything you need to know about the player.

Whether you're in the market for coaching expertise, better equipment, or up-and-coming information on the sport, you might appreciate some of the things we're discovering at FungoMan LLC about the game we've recently tapped into. Around 14 years ago, FungoMan's inception began as a solution for baseball practice efficiency, but it wasn't until a few years ago that we saw a real opportunity to advance another sport with hopefully the same kind of impact -- fastpitch softball. Right now, we're manning the post at our first softball convention at the National Fastpitch Coaching Association Convention in Atlanta, GA, and the response to the technology and coaching empowerment movement that we so whole-heartedly believe in has been nothing short of encouraging.
