The Day The Heater Pitching Machine Arrived

This Article describes the joy of my kids and the easy setup experienced when we got our Heater Pitching Machine.

I got home from work and the empty box was there on the family room floor. My wife called me during the day and said the Heater Pitching Machine had arrived and that the kids were jumping out of their skins waiting for me to get home to help set it up.  I left a little early that day so I could help to set it up, looking forward to a great evening with the boys and got home to find no one in the house.

I walked around the house for a minute, went upstairs to get changed and then came back down to find out where everyone was.  I saw the note on the kitchen table – “Chuck, we are at the ball field taking BP, Love, All of us”.  I thought, wow, this is unusual, but I headed up there right away to play with the kids. 

I figured they wanted to use the new pitching machine a little and would be there struggling to put it together.  I drove up the street to the ball field to find my wife sitting comfortably in the stands with my youngest, who was only 1 at the time, and half of our neighborhood taking turns hitting balls with the new machine.  It was awesome!  The kids were excited about it and were running around shagging balls everywhere they were hit.  They were taking turns loading the ball feeder and then getting their swings in.  Each one got a 2-3 minute turn, got tired and then switched with the next person.

I asked my wife how she got the machine assembled and ready for them to use and she told me that it came in a box, she opened it and setup the tripod, put the pitching machine on top of the tripod, attached the ball feeder and headed for the ball park.  Not to take anything away from my wife, but she has never been mechanically inclined, I was impressed.     

A great product has to be easy to use, and this one was starting off very well.  Click here to hear some of the Advantages of Owning a Pitching Machine I think my kids have over players and teams without pitching machines.
