I’ve grown up with Elvis and became pretty used to him kissing his fans because “that’s just what he did” and “it was a different time”. I started to think about this a bit recently though, I can’t recall a single other artist that does this? Can you imagine today’s superstars doing something like this? Would be crazy! Did other artist at the time kiss their fans too? Also did he only do this in the 70s or was this something that he’s done his whole career? I feel like I’ve seen it happen in the 50s too just can’t recall. Finally, did he ever get any pushback from this? I know Priscilla was obviously not a fan of it, but did the media ever give him pushback? Never really realized how bizarre this is given today’s current culture lol

Can you guys think of some times where Elvis talked about some of his songs specifically? Would love to hear him just talk about some big hits, causally talking about hound dog, don’t be cruel, can’t help falling in love, etc. I can think of some examples when he was in concerts but that’s about it.

I am primarily our first basemen but I had to move to third base on one of our league nights for roster reasons. I enjoy third and I’m not too bad at it (I say I’m great with my left hand but my right hand I struggle with lmao) because I’ve never really had to throw too much in first in high school and in slow pitch. During warm ups and practice I can make the throw but in games I think I get too much in my head because I either rainbow the ball to first or just miss completely. The yips kick my ass and just wondering how you all deal with them? I easily got the arm for it but it’s just not natural for me. I’ve tried to do something like release higher, aim at a certain part, or flick my wrist more but it appears to be all mental. Thoughts and advice?

I want to snag a TwinTees tee but not sure if I’m just falling for the social media hype or if it’s actually a good one. Need one that can replicate a good height, not fall over all the time, and not break and this tee seems to have all that just wondering if it’s a good one and worth the price.

I got a first base mitt and it broke in just fine except the leather right about the palm of the hand (and right below the base of the fingers). It can be tough to close, the pocket feels fine but that spot of leather feels hard to close and “pushes” into my hand pretty hard. I’ve done quite the break in process. Did the oven treatment with spray, rubbed the break in cream on it a few times, wrapped it up with a ball, wrapped it up with no ball, left weight on it over night, beat it was a Mallet, played multiple games with it, and a lot of catch with it. It’s good enough to play with but I would like it to be more comfortable. Am I doing something wrong? Or what tips do you might have?
