Batter up! Baseball season is here. With the onset on America’s favorite pastime, we at CubeSmart have baseballs, bats, and gloves on our brains. According to recent statistics, professional baseball teams can go through as many as 900,000 baseballs each season. Given the size of a standard 10’ x 10’ CubeSmart cube, you’d need 9 cubes to store them all! While you may not need that many cubes, in honor of the start of baseball season, we’ve calculated how much space you’d need to store all of your baseball-related gear.
If you’re planning to kick baseball season off by coaching your child’s baseball or softball team this year, you’ll need space to store all of those bats, balls, and safety equipment. A team of thirteen typically needs at least 10 bats, 96 baseballs, 13 gloves, and 6 batting helmets in a given season. Add in the additional space required for storing bases, safety and field equipment, and batting practice gear, and you’ll need a decent amount of space to store everything your team would need. A 10’ x 10’ cube is a perfectly sized storage unit to fit everything, leaving your home with all extra room you’ll need for your team’s big trophy at the end of the season. In fact, a 10’ x 10’ cube could give you enough room to hold bats and balls for over 600 teams.
Are you planning to check out a professional baseball game this season? On average 700,000 bags of peanuts are eaten at
games each year, all of which can snuggly fit in 9 standard 10’ x 10’ cubes. That means in a single 10’ x 10’ cube, you could store nearly 80,000 6 oz. bags which would give you more than enough nuts to enjoy all season long.
If you’re planning to add to your baseball card collection, you’ll have plenty of storage room in a CubeSmart unit. Although, you may have difficulty locating your favorite player’s cards if you didn’t organize them. A 10’ x 10’ cube could hold nearly 8 million cards! Depending on the size and amount of cards your baseball card collector’s boxes can hold, you could still fit a considerable amount in your cube. A cube full of 10” X 4” X 5” boxes could hold up to 4 million.
Whether you are planning to coach a few games, visit the ballpark, or continue collecting, CubeSmart has all the storage space you’ll need this baseball season.
