The Irish Captain - St. Patrick's Day, 2009387 viewsA sneak preview:
"We made Tek a special set of Kelley Green and White catcher's gear for St Patty's day - complete with shamrocks next to the Tek embroidered on the throat. Last year we did something similar, but they were away at the Yankees, and theYankees are too cool to wear green uniforms, so it didn't make sense for Tek to wear the gear. Also, he's way too humble to do something like that on his own that would call so much attention to him alone." -- Stan Jurga, Jr., All-Star Sports.

Jason's mitt894 viewsJason uses an All-Star modified 33-inch CM3000SBT Pro-Elite model catcher's mitt. He has a well-worn 35-inch version in case he catches knuckleball pitcher Tim Wakefield.
From Stan Jurga Jr., All-Star Sports Equipment:
"We get tons of e-mails asking why his web is so floppy. Well, rest assured that it is by design, and it serves a purpose.
Every good catcher knows to catch the ball in the pocket, not the web. This is one reason to train and do drills with undersized training mitts. So why the floppy web if you catch in the pocket? Jason tunes the lacing to be loose to help snag and control wild pitches and pop flies.
The floppy web helps to snag and trap the ball under these situations. If the ball has a lot of spin, it helps prevent the ball from popping out. If he’s straining to either side and barely makes contact with the ball and gets it in the web, then the loose web helps to trap the ball."
