This past weekend, I saw it again. I was walking my dog past our local Little League fields and was caught by surprise when I realized they were already conducting evaluations for the coming season. Players on one field were being evaluated for Minors, with the Majors hopefuls on the other field. What did both diamonds have in common? Multiple JUGS machines. They had one in the outfield to shoot fly balls and one on each mound to throw pitches. This is a league with plenty of money, they can buy any machine they want, and yet there they were with the venerable, familiar blue machines with white wheels that any baseball junkie knows and loves. I can tell you from experience that this is five-star company to work with and that in terms of product quality, customer service and value, your league will be delighted with any of their products. When you trot out a JUGS machine in your league, people know you know baseball.
