MVP on Deck is over by the Army reserve building on HWY 110 as you begin towards Whitehouse TX.
You will find it down a road towards a bunch of metal warehouse looking buildings at the end. You got it, MVP is in the metal warehouse at the end on the left.
MVP on deck offers both softball slow pitch and baseball fast pitch. The baseball machines are used more than the softball so if you play softball like me this means no wait usually.
If you pick up your own balls after your done you get bonus tokens. If you don’t pick up your balls it’s no problem.
They sell Combat baseball bats in their retail shop and the owner is very friendly and will be happy to show you around.
They have a few TV’s going with current MLB baseball games being played. The middle machine is a baseball pitch machine with movie simulator showing an actual pitcher.
MVP on Deck is all about customer service and I think you will like this place. Call in advance if you would like to reserve the place for team practice and they will be able to accommodate.

I walked into my local pharmacy in Lindale Texas the other day to see the notorious Power Balance bracelet for sale on the front counter. They were selling it for $19.95 which is usually the price I see it for at other places.
Right next to it was another bracelet called the Phiten Sporting Bracelet. This one claims some different health benefits such as the ability to enhance circulation and promote relaxation in the arm, wrist and shoulder.
I couldn’t believe a pharmacy was selling this considering I put places like the pharmacies in a scientific category in my mind that isn’t necessarily a business accustomed to selling wacko science products.
For instance I usually see ear candles in wellness and herb type stores but rarely do I see ear candles fro sale in my local pharmacy.
The new Phiten sporting bracelet is 100 % silicone which I don’t understand would be touted as being such a great benefit. If they were to say it was 100% made out of gold I might buy it.
These Phiten bracelets have embedded micro titanium sphere zones in them. What is a micro titanium sphere zone? I don’t know and I am sure that is what Phiten hopes many people will think as well so as to let peoples imaginations run wild and come up with their own scientific explanation.
A fun fact about the Phiten brand bracelets is that some pretty big sports stars use this brand. CJ Wilson with the Texas Rangers wears a Phiten necklace and pitches on a professional MLB pitching mound. And it’s not just him that wears this type of thing. Pretty much all the pitchers wears these necklaces accept for Cliff Lee who has now left the Rangers to play with the Phillies.
The balance bracelet enthusiasts and believers out there that are quick to give testimonials on all the ways the bracelets have healed their bodies as well as go into how the bracelets work in a pseudo science kind of manner.
So for those who prefer micro titanium balls in their bracelets over hologram stickers here is another bracelet for you.
