Jaeger Sports increases Barry Zito’s velocity by 10 MPH by long tossing fruitcakes:
Woodland Hills Ca 12/27/2007. Jaeger Sports demonstrated today a new technique for increasing pitchers velocity by over 10% by long tossing fruitcakes. “We have been studying ways to increase pitchers velocities for several years and were running out of ideas” said Alan Jaeger President and CYA of Jaeger Sports. (Chief Yoga Aficionado)
“Last year I received 3 fruitcakes for Christmas and I just did not know what to do with them. This lead me the think about my biggest fruitcake client, which of course is Barry Zito” said Allen. “As you all know Barry has a killer curveball but his fastball velocity has not been where he wanted it so it made perfect sense to me”
“Barry has been working out with my new FLT (Fruitcake Long Toss) technique for the past two months and his fast ball velocity has gone from 82MPH to over 92MPH during this period of time” “The results have been staggering” said Barry “I only have to spend one-half hour per day working out with the fruitcakes, which allows me much more time to hang out at the beach, chase girls, surf and think about ways to spend my one hundred and twenty-five million dollars”
Barry demonstrated the FLT at Jaeger Sports winter camp this morning in front of over 100 pitchers from around the country. Said one CAdad “Heck if my son can increase his velocity this much who cares about first pitch strikes” A Bobblehead from Canada said “ If my son can increase his velocity this much he might even give up hockey” Trhit from the Connecticut said “ I don’t give a **** about Fruitcakes, we all know everyone from California is a Fruitcake”
The leading expert in pitchers arm care, Dr. Frank Jobe, said “I believe the increase in velocity is due to the fact that it asymmetrically works out the muscles with out putting stress on the UCL, Labrum and ulna. It does not seem to effect the VCL, WCL and ZCL, in fact all of the CL’s are not affected, except for the UCLA of course”
Allen will be releasing a new DVD on the FLT technique next month. The new DVD called “Fruitcakes a Flyin” will be available exclusively from Jaeger Sports at www.flyingfuitcakes.com
