Keeping a scorecard at a ballgame is a lost American tradition. Now we go to the Bronx or Fenway and are too busy double-fisting $15 beers to be jotting down notes. It's time to put down a beer (guarantee that's the only time we will ever say that) and bring back the relaxing baseball pastime that is scorekeeping. To help you along the way is this stylishly designed scorebook from Eephus League. Each book contains 20 scoresheets that let you take down all the standard ballgame info along with where you sat, what you ate, and even who sang the national anthem. If you've never kept a scorecard before, the book even includes a little cheat sheet to help you along the way. So hit up the ballpark, kick back for nine innings or more, and document your experience without spilling beer all over this ... continue reading

For most winter sport enthusiasts, it is either skiing or snowboarding that takes precedence over the other. The truth is, however, many snowboarders and many skiers have a soft spot for the other mode of snowy navigation. With Splitsticks, you don't have to choose one sport over the other. The Splitsticks snowboard ... continue reading
Have you ever been hit with one of those old school, D battery powered Maglites that officers of the law carry? If you haven't, don't. It's not pretty. They're big, and hefty, and durable and just as much weapon as they are flashlight. And while it's certainly possible to use it like a weapon, at the end of the day ... continue reading
Golf and style don't always go hand in hand. We normally think of excessive amounts of plaid, ultra preppy polos and occasionally some jacked up socks. Not the case with these golf shoes from Adidas. The Adidas Adicross II's are stylish, lightweight, extremely durable and are designed for added traction while you're ... continue reading
On one end of the snow cruising fleet is the metal garbage can lid, and now, on the other, is the Stealth-X from Snolo Sleds. This is a grown man's sled.

Every man should own at least one baseball bat. They're good for, well, actually playing baseball, but there's a host of other things they do quite well too: home security, art, pushing doors closed when you don't want to get out of your chair and we're sure there are others we're forgetting too. Huntington Base Ball ... continue reading
Hitting the gym is one of the few reasons you're still going to need a padlock this late in life, but if you ever find yourself spending time there you understand how important it is to have one. $25 might seem like a lot to spend on a lock at first, and that's because it is. But you only need to forget your combination ... continue reading
We often wonder if there will come a time when we run out of new ways to get an adrenaline rush in the great outdoors. While companies are busy cramming more "hours" into our energy drinks, we worry that we'll hit the limit of natural epinephrine injections. Just when we begin to worry that snowboarding and waterskiing ... continue reading
Thanksgiving usually marks the last time most guys play any organized sport outdoors. We use the term "organized" loosely because it is usually a drunken game of football with the family that features lots of dropped passes, a hefty helping of poorly run trick plays, and an uncle puking in your bushes. Now that the ... continue reading
We've seen grown men dive, climb and spill entire beers in an attempt to grab a foul ball. That's right, after shelling out a paycheck on a cup of tasteless beer, some of us have made the sound financial decision to trade it in for a ball used in a midseason Orioles vs Royals game. We can't explain our fascination ... continue reading
Few things in life are as sacred to a man as his love of his favorite baseball team. Even if you don't get out to as many games as you would like, the appeal of a crappy, expensive beer and a dog keeps you coming back for more. Most of us our past our prime for ball playing, but it's never too late for playing ball. ... continue reading
There's a small percentage of guys who actually enjoy working out. The rest of us do it so we can drink a few beers, pick up more women and live a bit longer (so we can drink more beers and pick up more women). When grinding through a workout, music is about as essential as water to us and MOTOACTIV may be our new ... continue reading
Most of the vehicles we use on a day-to-day basis are primarily used because we have to use them. They are required. We love our bikes and cars but for the most part they get us from Point A to Point B. On the water it's a completely different story. Vehicles become toys and we thought we'd seen them all . ... continue reading
