In softball?  If you're breaking wood bats in softball you're doing it wrong.

I don't play softball. I still play hardball.

Playoffs are coming up and my buddy tore his Achilles heel on his first fielding attempt in the game and has bad headaches from bone spurs recently. He's in his early 50s, but he's in crazy shape so I'm sure he'll recover a lot faster than I would.

He's ok on that front. He runs a family food service business in san francisco and the best donut shops in vegas so he'll just use health insurance from either company he runs. I'm more worried about the bone spurs in his neck. I have them and have chronic pain and hope he doesn't have the same problem I do. It really really sucks to have chronic pain.

What's the issue? Most issues you could DIY no problem.

I don't know for sure, but some Play It Again shops have guys that restore.

None of these are in NoVA, but I'm sure they do A+ work: http://www.wilson.com/en-us/baseball/glovecarecenter/

Do it.

Use your phone to get some video while you unlace the glove. It's easy enough. Good time to clean the glove too.

Mock everyone for playing a sissy sport designed to have everyone on the field (including the umpires who have to watch that crap) drunk.
