    Pocket Radar?

    I have a pocket radar that I haven’t used in 5 or 6 years. I no longer have a pitcher living at my house but would like to use it with kids I will be coaching. Can anyone tell me how to check this to make sure it works and determine accuracy of the readings? Thanks!

    Wording for a plaque

    Some of you may remember that I lost a daughter in 2018. We built a new field for the High School and now it has been decided to name the field for her.
