Wooden Baseball Cards, plaques and Akadema Baseball Gloves
150th Anniversary Collection

"Where Organized Baseball Was Born"

To help celebrate the 150th Birthday of the little town of Hoboken New Jersey, Mr. Baseball has created a collection of wooden baseball cards and a Cherrywood Plaque commemorating the beginnings of baseball as we see it played today. Alexander Joy Cartwright Jr., The New York Knickerbocker Ballists and the beautiful Elysian Fields are displayed on Laser Engraved Cherrywood Imagediscs(tm) and the Elysian Fields are engraved on a handsome wall plaque  all celebrating Hoboken's birthday. The plaques are limited edition items with the smallest numbers being sold on a first come first serve basis.  For that special DAD this is the perfect gift for Fathers Day which falls on this special weekend in Hoboken.

If you are interested in the AJ or Knickerbocker images produced on a plaque instead of Imagedisc(tm) then please call us at 877-551-1023 and ask for Alex.

Buy any one item or all three as a collection. If you would like the three wooden imagediscs (tm) framed for the wall, there is an additional $40 charge.

Reptilian New Evolution of Baseball Gloves

Reptilian® Series:

The creation of the Reptilian® Design Series by Akadema Professional is a combination of technology meeting evolution.   This revolutionary web, pocket, and near finger-less design has many features to separate it from the normal ball glove.   The appearance and performance of the Reptilian® Design Series will make all other baseball gloves extinct.

The Reptilian's® near-fingerless design creates a natural air pocket which acts as a shock absorber for initial ball impact, making glove to hand transfer smoother and quicker.   When the ball initially hits the glove, it makes a depression that allows the ball to sit longer in the glove.   The near finger-less design also acts as a shovel for easier ground ball scooping.   With virtually no breaking points within the pocket, the Reptilian® is designed to keep its unique shape longer than a regular glove.   The Reptilian's® leather looks and feels like snake scales which give better traction and grip for less ball spin.

Taking the baseball world by storm, Akadema's patented Reptilian® design currently maintains its position as the world's hottest selling glove line.   With unprecedented attention to quality and design, Akadema® Professional and the Reptilian® stand poised to revolutionize the way baseball is played.
