David, Welcome to the Sport & Social League. We are in the middle of registering for two sports. Both Dodgeball and Volleyball is open for next season. Feel free to sign up by yourself or with friends. You'll have a blast playing and meeting new people. Registration closes next week.

I posted a meetup for a hike and lunch in Santana Row. Hope to see you there!

Thanks...it was a pleasure meeting you as well! We were at the outlets for awhile, but yeah, the place is huge and I can see how it can be hard to meet up with people there. As for meeting up for food and tea - FUN!! Let me know when you're free!!

Yeah, the mysteries of life and all that jazz...

Yeah, I buy your ticket for $22, I email you my contact info

Hope this helps...feel free to use my bat till you buy yours. This bat is expensive but its definitely worth every penny. I've used the Freak for about 5 years now (used my friend's before I bought my own) and frankly can't see myself using any other bat.

I bought mine 5 months ago USED from the East Coast...about 30-50 swings on it on Ebay for $250. I think brand new is $400 so I feel I got a pretty good deal. Other than Ebay, I was also looking around on Craigslist but didn't find any good deals at the time. Also, the Big 5's of the world apparently don't carry this bat so your best bet is to find it online. This bat is 34 in long and comes in 27-30 oz. (Mine is a 27 oz).

Hey David,

I've fallen in love with this bat and would definitely use it with confidence in closed-combat situations. I've got a Miken Freak 98 ORIGINAL (not Turbo, Super, Plus, or whatever others they have come up with since). It is the only one of the Freaks that is ASA approved (besides the one that came out new this year...Kely has it). One thing to be prepared for is to shell out some dough to buy this guy.
