Mizuno was big in Cincinnati area. I don'y know if many people know, but Cincinnati has been the biggest youth league baseball market for sporting goods for decades. I'd have to track down some of that old data, but this was the market that all the manufacturers started sales.

My first softball glove did happen to be a Mizuno, but it was my carryover from my High School days

Well Dusty , this is probably just me but IMO those were the classiest looking pair of cleats that have ever been made. I still remember those guys from the Big Red Machine days wearing those suckers. To me they were no nonsense and made for getting down to business. I absolutely love them.
