There is more than one reason why boys are so fascinated with baseball. It is also an important place for them to get to know each other's bodies deeply, and to know the secret pleasures that only grown men can enjoy with each other.

Just an Ordinary Kid Like Us

Part of my Gravity Falls Baseball AU continuity

Pacifica Northwest? Baseball? Now that's an unlikely pair! But believe it or not, it works! Everyone knows The Northwests love their family treasures, but this Northwest has taken an interest to a different type of diamond... the Baseball diamond!

Ever since Pacifica was "reluctantly" dragged to the town baseball diamond by Mabel and Dipper, she's been getting more and more immersed in the game. Sure, her grand father, Auldman Northwest, may have built the diamond, (heck it's even named after him, Auldman Northwest Memorial Baseball Field or just Auldman Field), but her parents have always made it a point of reminding her that this was just "a bone we throw to those filthy commoners so they don't forget who's the family that brings joy to their miserable existence". Now, she's here, decked out in her baseball gear, with her coach/adopted big sister, Wendy, and her new (real) best friends, Dipper and Mabel.

Baseball's become an outlet for Pacifica. For all her life, she's lived under the heavy and strict expectations of her family and their family name. "You're a Northwest", those words forever haunt her in whatever she did. Everything she did, she either had to be the best, had to be an achiever, or had to remember her family's reputation that they only engage in "the activities of high society"

But here? On THIS diamond, with THIS crowd... that all changes. When she slips in her uniform, steps into her cleats, straps on her batting gloves, plops on her baseball cap, and slides on her batting helmet, she's Pacifica... a kid like everyone else. Baseball's taught Pacifica that its ok to be a kid and its ok to have fun. No one's expecting her to be an MVP and no one's expecting her to carry the entire team on her shoulders.

It's gonna take some time for her to get used to being comfortable just being herself, but she's getting there. Wendy, Mabel, and Dipper have all made it their mission to get Pacifica to just enjoy and be who she really is. And incidentally, who she is...is actually one heck of a great Baseball Player. Pacifica always gives it her all and it shows. She's good, especially for a rookie, but obviously has a long way to go, especially in learning not to take herself too seriously and just living in the moment. But that's what everyone is here for. She may fail, but Wendy teaches her that its fine and just to laugh and learn from it and bounce back stronger. She may not have all the answers, but thats ok, Dipper's here to help her untangle whatever questions she has about what to do next. She may not always be the best, but Mabel's here to pick her up and give her the light hearted boost she needs.

There's no denying it, Baseball has given Pacifica the experience she's always wanted: to be a kid and to just enjoy being a kid. Slowly she learns that it doesn't matter if she's not the best, all that matters is that she knows she has a team who will ride and die for her. She has a big sister in Wendy who she can always lean on when things get rough. She has a best friend in Mabel who can will always stick by her through thick and thin. She has a dorky adopted sibling in Dipper who will always push her to go beyond what she thinks she can do while still grounding her. Pacifica's got a long way to go, but she's more than happy to see it through. No matter what she's got to learn, she's all in, even if it means still having to get used to the sweat and stink that comes with Baseball... Yeah that'll take some time, but like Wendy says "We wear our sweat and stink with pride around her. Embrace the stench of victory!" Don't worry Pacifica, you'll get used to it...eventually

REVIEWING THE 44 SPEED CUSTOM BASEBALL GLOVE FOR $160

The 44 Speed Custom Baseball Glove is a top of the line glove offered by one of the top glove customizers in the game, 44 Baseball. Coming in at a price of $160, this glove is certainly an investment for any serious player. But does the quality and craftsmanship of this glove living up to the heightened cost? In this in-depth review, I will break down every aspect of the 44 Speed custom glove to help determine if it's worth the $160 price tag.

Let's start with the leather. The 44 Speed uses top grain steerhide leather that has been professionally oiled, formed, and conditioned. Steerhide is one of the highest quality leathers available for gloves thanks to its thin but durable composition. This allows for good liveliness and break-in time while maintaining structure. 44 Baseball sources their leather from one of the most reputable tanners, making it some of the softest and smoothest around. After forming and conditioning, the leather on this glove is absolutely buttery. I've broken in many gloves and this steerhide took very little time to get comfortable. It molds perfectly to the hand and feels great on any ball contact. The leather quality alone is worth a significant portion of the $160 price point.

Moving to lacing, the 44 Speed uses top of the line rawhide lacing throughout. Rawhide is the traditional choice for baseball gloves thanks to its strength, flexibility and traditional aesthetics. All lacing was done cleanly and tightly by 44's staff. After weeks of rigorous games and practices, the lacing has kept its structure and shows no signs of loosening. Proper lacing is so important to a glove's long term performance and 44 nailed it here.

The webbing is another area where quality shines. 44 Baseball exclusively uses firm but supple “Texas Webbing” - a type of webbing favored by many professionals for its liveliness. This webbing allows for a quick transfer of the ball from the webbing to the pocket while still offering good ball-blocking capabilities. It forms perfectly to any throw and naturally molds to an individual's throwing style after minimal breaks. The webbing on the 44 Speed is some of the finest I've ever used - it simply feels like an extension of my hand on any throw.

Moving inside the glove, the pocket is where the 44 Speed really distinguishes itself. 44 takes a very unique and meticulous approach to forming each individual pocket. Using dozens of baseballs and hours upon hours of forming techniques, the goal is to create a deeply contoured pocket that naturally wraps any ball like a glove. The pocket on this glove lives up to that goal - it is incredibly soft and wraps whichever part of the ball you catch like a warm hug. I've had nothing but true hops on grounders and effortless catches on fly balls thanks to this special pocket. The feel and break-in of the pocket is truly unmatched at any price point.

From a customization standpoint, 44 Baseball offers an enormous amount of options to fully personalize a glove. For the 44 Speed review model, I went with a simple all-leather construction with red web accents and “Super Yankee” embroidery on the heart. The choices were top quality and executed perfectly. The glove arrived beautifully presented and wrapped. There were no mistakes or loose threads to be found. Further options like stringing colors, logos, and customization allows buyers to make this glove truly their own.

Similar high quality custom gloves from other top brands would easily top $200 so value is another area where the 44 Speed delivers. At just $160, this glove makes sending premium quality product more accessible to serious ball players. And it comes with a limited lifetime warranty to boot for long term peace of mind. Customer service from 44 Baseball has also been top notch in my experience.

After putting the 44 Speed through its paces on diamond for several months now, it has more than proven itself. The leather has only gotten softer and truer, the pocket has molded perfectly to my hand, and it has stayed in great shape through rain, snow and heavy use. I have never regretted spending on a glove and this one was absolutely worth the $160 investment. For serious players looking for a true lifelong diamond companion, it would be foolish not to consider the 44 Speed custom among the very best options at any price point. Its combination of quality materials, meticulous craftsmanship, customization options and excellent value make it a true diamond in the rough - and quite possibly the greatest $160 a player can spend.
