7th Century to Swinging Naughties - Famous British Icons

England and Britain are famous worldwide for its many British Icons from Boudeca, Queen Chief of the Iceni Tribe, Football, Mini Skirt to the Mini Car and I thought I would tell its British history and list some of the most famous Icons from the 7th Century to the present day. British Icon's have dominated the world with British Royalty, British Music, British Fashion, British Movie Stars, British Saints, British Buildings, British inventions, British Discoveries and British Sports.

The UK, Great Britain, Albion, this Sceptred Isle - however you refer to this small island perched up on the north western edge of the European continent, one thing that is undeniable is that nowhere else on Earth, from any country, has there been such a massive global impact.

Whether in the form of symbols of power as with the British Union Flag, in the guise of the person as with W. Churchill or Princess Diana, or in the form of chic design, as with the mini and mini-skirt in the Swinging Sixties, The Beatles, or the simple yet powerful Oasis logo from the Britpop era of the Nineties, British icons have been at both the forefront and in the background of history, decorating the past and how we perceive it.

In taking a closer look at our British Icons and history, hopefully you can gain a better understanding of the United Kingdom, its people, and what makes us tick.

The Chinese call Britain 'The Island of Hero's' which I think sums up what we British are all about. We British are inquisitive and competitive and are always looking over the horizon to the next adventure and discovery.

Rawlings Baseball

What type of blue ink pen will be good to get autographs on a Rawlings baseball?

I'm going to the STL Cardinals game on June 17th and I will get John Tudor and Danny Cox autographs and want to know if the regular blue ink Papermate, blue ink Pilot Dr. Grip or the Universal Ballpoint Medium blue ink pen will be the best? If you have other pens that will work tell me and give me the link for those pens.

Any is fine, just make sure it works before you have them sign.

Remember, ball point pen for balls, sharpies for cards and magazines.

Engraving on Rawlings Baseball Mitt?

I recently ordered a Rawlings baseball mitt which has black leather. I put some glove oil on it just to soften up the leather. I had an engraving written on the glove (which is a brown shade) and when I put the oil on the engraving it became very dark, almost not visible. Did I ruin the engraving or is there something I can do?

Wow bro you need to take the glove back and get a new one the oil ruined the engraving, just tell am it was like that & swap for a new one.

My baseball Bats...

which baseball bat to get?

i am a freshman in hs. I am looking to get a new bat this year, but don't know which to get.
I currently have a 2008 Stealth Reg 32/29 but i am looking for i 33/30.
I can decide between the 2009 Aero Fuse CX2, 2009 DeMariniCF3 Black, or the TPX Triton.
I have never personaly liked the Exo or Rawling bats.
Does anyone have any reviews or tips?

I would definitely go with the f3 out of all the bats you listed. The 2008 has great pop and response. However, i still like tpx bats because the stiffness creates great bat control and response in my opinion.

Easton Baseball Gloves

Is there a way to dry a wet baseball glove that has been out in the rain fast?

Easton glove
Brown
Practice is tomorrow

Both answers are good that they gave. When I got my glove wet I stuffed the inside with newspaper to dry that up and then I also wrapped all around it to dry it and why it did that I sat it next to the heater to speed up the drying. I also leave a ball in the glove while its all wrapped up to keep the right form of the glove, but that is me.

How Can i Break in my BaseBall glove?

Well i bought a easton glove because i just made the baseball team and
i want to know how to break it in (at home) and if putting a hard baseball in the pocket and putting it under my mattress is a good idea

Well I remember Harold Reynolds showing how to break in a baseball glove and below is how he broke his glove in.

If you don't like that method, the link below has several other methods on how you can break in your glove. If by chance you don't like any of these methods, you can just google breaking in a baseball glove and there are several sites that come up.
