Two new batting cages have just opened up out at the Bladium
sports complex out at Alameda Point (the old navy base). The cages use
new cutting-edge Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology that displays
an image of a pitcher winding up and releasing just as the ball is
"thrown". This allows the batter to see an actual pitcher's
wind up and delivery, instead of having to anticipate or guess when
the pitching machine will shoot out the ball.
The
cages are open:
-- Monday through Friday, 5am to Midnight
-- Saturday & Sunday, 6am to 10pm
Rates:
-- 1 token (25 pitches) $3.00
-- 8 token special $22.00
-- Half Hour - $32.00
-- Full Hour - $55.00
Alameda
Babe Ruth and all teams and individuals participating therein shall
receive a fifty percent (50%) discount on the first usage of the batting
cages.
This offer extends to teams as well as players and is applicable to any
and all batting programs available at Bladium (see the web site), from a
single, one token session to a full one hour rental. Use your discount
wisely.
There
are also discounts if you're a Bladium Club Member

I grew up
playing baseball in the East Bay. I have 30-years experience as a
player in Hayward and still play competitive ball in the MABL out
of San Francisco. I've personally played up and down the
state and have attended a number of baseball hitting camps.
I've also been coaching in Babe Ruth for Washington Manor for the
past five years.
