Swinging Success With Custom Handmade Baseball Bats

My Facebook news feed was flooded with similar updates yesterday. "I just finished the last class of my college career!" Some were more personally studded with H*l# $h!t, and can you F^c%ing believe it?!?! We're DONE!!!" while others took a more reflective approach, "Wow...this is it."

I can't remember the particular status update I made on my last day of class last year, but I definitely remember the thoughts I had. "Time for the real world."

As we sprout into the month of May, many high school and college students prepare for graduation. Motivators can supply you with the graduation promotional giveawaysyou need to help celebrate, and I will now attempt to supply the graduating class from St. Joseph's College of Maine with some hope. Look at me, I'm employed. (And I actually accidentally slept through the last class of my college career.)
           

The opportunities are out there, so conquer them! And while you're at it, hit 'em out of the park. That's just what Jesse  LaCasse, a St. Joe's '03 alumni is doing. The St. Joseph's College Magazine featured him in their latest edition and I couldn't pass up a story that included the word, "custom." For you see, promotional, custom, branded, logo and imprinted have become tokens of the marketing language I now speak - a language I first learned at St. Joes.

So what language does Jesse speak? He's currently living in Germany so I'd give that a guess, but since graduating, baseball has been affluent in his life. So where do these two alumni cross paths? On the baseball diamond.
                 
Jesse is a member of my college's Baseball Hall of Fame, but he can do more than just swing a bat, he can create it. Originally just a personal hobby, Jesse now runs a one man custom baseball bat company, LaCasse Bats. He primarily uses white ash and maple wood to get the most strength and flexibility. Even better? He gets all of his supplies locally, making him a one man eco-friendly bat making show. His personal logo can be found on each of his handmade baseball bats and he brands players names into each for teams in Little League all the way up to college.

So if you're having the typical graduation blues..."How can I find a job?" "Where am I going to live?" "What do I have to offer?" Have no fears. Opportunities are out there, so take a swing.
