If for some odd reason Michael Jackson’s bedazzled white glove wasn’t available, he would always go for his Elite Batting Gloves.

Start them young…
At Elite OC, we get tons of families coming in to pick up gear for their little leaguer or fast pitch super star. Just yesterday we had one of our youngest slugger come in to break in his new bat in the cage.
This lil’ guy is so good that he doesn’t even need to look at the ball…by the way, he was pretty good, the balls he hit were hitting the back side of the cage.
His older sister was also there breaking in her new Combat Lisa Fernandez FP LITE bat.

Happy Anniversary to Freddy “bro” Tario
No its not his wedding anniversary. But today marks the 1 year anniversary that Freddy has been with TAI NC. It’s been simply awesome to have Freddy be part of the TAI family. We’ve seen him grow throughout the year and we’ve been part of his many adventures in life. Here’s a glimpse of him dancing in Vegas (one of many adventures)…
Freddy was also our model for an up coming Elite product called the “e-pod.”
There’s a few interesting facts about Freddy. He was an Architect before coming to TAI. I did some Scooby Dooing and I actually found a house he designed (seriously). This one is located in Fresno County in a city called Coalinga. It boasts 4 bedrooms 2 baths and check this out the Lot size: 13,020 Sq Ft…nice! That’s practically a softball field in a backyard!!!!
Happy Anniversary Freddy!
