| When Coach Joe
Mihalek bought the first of two PORTA
CAGES for his Complete Baseball Camp in
1993, little did he know what lay in
store for him or his cages to come.
Located in the US Virgin Islands, Coach
Mihalek teaches baseball year 'round. His
PORTA CAGES work year 'round also. Coach
'Joe' is very pleased with the service he
gets from his units. But in 1994, when
Hurricane Marilyn roared through the
islands, not even Mihalek could envision
what might happen to his batting cage. He
could have taken it down, but the winds
came up too fast for him to do so.

| Left out on the
practice field, the PORTA CAGE endured
heavy rain and winds up to 120 mph. When
Marilyn cleared out, Mihalek's teaching
camp was left in total disarray. Yet, through it
all, the Porta Cage was still standing.
Unharmed. On a postcard, Coach Mihalek
wrote: "We don't have power. No
water. And the phone lines are down. But
the PORTA CAGE is STILL standing!
Tomorrow, we go back to practice."
He found
his batting cage out in centerfield up
against a fence. Lonely, but ready for
action. Incredibly, Mihalek's first PORTA
CAGE endured two major hurricanes,
Marilyn in 94, George in 98. A second
unit purchased in 1996 survived hurricane
George.
The
PORTA CAGE is tough. Not every unit is
going to withstand every hurricane or
other acts of nature, but every PORTA
CAGE sold since 1993 is still in service.
Pretty good track record...
Just ask
Coach Joe ...
