I’m an out of shape dad of 3 sons who may play baseball one day. My oldest son is 5. He was gifted a youth glove for Christmas. We’re going to a minor league game this month and I’d like to have a glove to play catch in case the game piques his interest. I never played in a league, just had a glove growing up for playing in the neighborhood. Today, I’d have no idea what size glove to buy or how to determine that. (Middle finger to wrist - 7.25”. Width of palm is 3.25”)I’ve looked at this subreddit and determined the H-web, maybe 12” or more would be a good universal glove, but that is still a guess. I’m not rich, but I’d be willing to pay my way out of entry level synthetic leather. I’d love for the glove to last the next 15 years.

Some of the questions, I would give myself a 4 (frequently) and she would say “That’s a 5. That really applies to you.” We had some good laughs about the test, debating to what degree some of the questions applied to me. Also, if you wing 5 twice, might I be a 5?

I've gone the past couple of years. I mentioned the tournament to my 5 year old and he wanted to go. I think he may be able to handle it, but I also think it might end with me carrying him part of the day. I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with bringing a young kid to USDGC.

Cop: “Oh, so you’re not going to answer my questions?” Me thinking: “Does he not know that he just asked me another question? Why is he pretending to not know that that is another question?”

Is a MD404 better than a MD305?

I would guess that MD300s<400s<500s<600s<700s<800s.

I'm convinced that I want to learn the mandolin. I just went to the local music store and put one in my hands. Maybe this is the feeling every new player gets, but the space between the frets feels very small, especially as you play higher notes.

Would anyone here recommend the octave mandolin for the larger fretboard? It may also be easier to learn on.

Of the classic tunes that every mandolin player should know, most of those tunes are bluegrass, and played incredibly fast. Two questions: First, what percentage of mandolin music is bluegrass? And second, what are some classic mandolin tunes that are a little slower?

Foggy Mountain Breakdown is great, but I don’t love incredibly fast music all the time. And maybe this means I need to find another instrument. Are there slow banjo songs?

I know certain parts of the bike are small but essential to a fully functioning Brompton. What are they? What makes you say “If the Brompton doesn’t have ______ then walk.”?

I’ve never been Roman Catholic, but I don’t want to insult them with insulting statements in the form of a question, like “Why do you commit idolatry and worship Mary?” I’d like to bring our side fairly, and ask them good fair questions as well.
