Mizuno Repair Service; Workshop Car

As I wrote before, baseball gear is pretty pricey. That not the kind you buy every three months or six months. Especially once you get the gear which you can use as a part of your body, you want to use it as long as possible. You take care of it for yourself. But sometimes it would need professional hands to fix or repair. Repairing a hole on the glove, changing the web of the glove, replacing spikes of the shoes・・・. Sometimes repairing costs as much as buying a new one.

As some of you may already know, Mizuno provides a repair service, so called "Mizuno Baseball Workshop". In the U.S. the blue Mizuno Workshop car drives around and visits Major League spring camps to repair players' baseball goods. This service keep them in the best condition for the coming season.

The blue car comes to our shop one a year too. The picures show one of the best Mizuno craftmen, Mister Aoki is repairing our customers' gear on 13th January of this year. He fixes any kind of tears, rips, and slits on gloves. One of high-school student brought in his really worn out glove with a big rip and asked for repair. Mister Aoki looked at it and he started fixing it. He took the glove apart, turned it inside out, sewed the torn part with sewing machine, and put it togehter by lacing. That was pretty fast! That was a magic! The glove was reborn by his hands. The student was very happy and thanked Mister Aoki very much.

Well kept gear helps ballplayers' performance. If you need some help to keep your baseball gear in good condition, one of our staff member who is certified as a Mizuno repairman would be willing to be of help.
