I am a frequent Yelp user and decided to bring this matter here. 6/7/23 at 1:29pm Cashier:Casey A elderly woman with mid length hair. I was there to make a return. I was asked by Casey to place my card in the terminal, I entered my pin and the card was to be removed. Casey exclaimed that I did this wrong and I'd have to do it again. So I placed my card back into the terminal and then it prompted me to enter my pin, I motioned my hand over to enter the pin when Casey yelled"NO!!" And SLAPPED MY HAND I Said " do not touch me!" She continued to explain that I Wasn't doing it right and took over the terminal. Apparently I Wasn't supposed to put my pin in.... Why have your terminal ask me for the pin and then have an associate attack me for following instruction. Ultimately I did not appreciate being smacked. Casey later apologized for smacking me. I stayed quiet and left the store. I was in utter shock. Big 5 this was probably the worst display of customer service I ever experienced.

He also helped me at check out & was great! Metzli was also friendly & funny, she & Jimena thanked me for shopping & said please return soon - which I will! Thanks for hiring such a high quality team at your Brea store!

Stopped in to find baby girl's best friend a gift for his Birthday. Since he just started baseball,…read morewhat a better gift than a new glove? The employee's here are very friendly and helpful. It wasn't that busy but we walked around the store to see what else they had. It's a nice store, they have the outdoors equipment that you could need or want. Asked for help to try to find a broken in glove for him but they had no idea what we were talking about. So we got the one that his dad showed us they were looking at. So much to look at I was tempted on a long board but would rather get it at a skate shop. But really like this location close by, small parking lot but the same as Target so there is plenty of parking. Thank you so much for all your help in helping us find the perfect glove and sizes. Even though we couldn't find a broken in one we got a gift receipt so hopefully they can go back and find the one they want. Appreciate all your help and friendly customer service. Have a beautiful day, be kind to everyone :) Aloha

First, I will list all the facts that I have experienced this past weekend (August 22, 2026 and…read moreAugust 23, 2026) at Diamond 9 Sports and the days leading up to the event. I will save my opinion at the end of what transpired. Timeline of Events Friday August 7th, 2026 Sign ups for One Piece Card Game 4th Anniversary Event (OP-17 Release Event) for Diamond 9 Sports: Saturday, OP17 Prerelease (Saturday August 22nd) & One Piece Card Game 4th Anniversary Event (OP-17 Release Event) for Diamond 9 Sports: Sunday, OP17 Prerelease (Sunday August 23rd) made available on the Bandai TCG Plus app. I successfully signed up for both events at $40 each Both events format is One Piece Card Game (English) - Sealed (Sealed format: 6 Packs (each participant should use the same number of packs.) After opening 6 packs, players build a 40-card deck, and a 10 DON!! card deck. (Source: https://en.onepiece-cardgame.com/pdf/tournament_rules_manual_op02.pdf ) Friday August 21, 2026 10:01 AM Received notification that the event has changed to Constructed format where there will only be 3 packs given out. The cost of the event remains $40. By this time all other events from other stores have filled up. Saturday August 22nd The event's format remained Constructed, however Entry was reduced to $10 and we received only 1 OP17 Booster Pack along with the promotional materials (OP17 Special Don!!, Rainbow Luffy + Luffy Promo, OP17 Release Stamped Promo Pack). Prizing (Gold Stamped Luffy) was given out to the winner. I paid this event in cash. Sunday August 23rd The event changed to Saturday's format: Constructed, Entry at $10 and we received only 1 OP17 Booster Pack along with the promotional materials (OP17 Special Don!!, Rainbow Luffy + Luffy Promo, OP17 Release Stamped Promo Pack). Prizing (Gold Stamped Luffy) was given out to the winner. I paid for this event with my credit card as proof of transaction. Opinion and Review I have been coming to Diamond 9 for a few months for their events. Thought their pricing was fair and the store owners were nice enough. That being said, how they handled this event felt very bait and switch. They advertised this event as $40 where you would get 6 booster packs. In the days leading up to the event the price and format changed (which went to $40 for 3 booster packs to $10 for 1 booster pack). This isn't an allocation issue. As Diamond 9 received their allocations of One Piece cards for this event. They just simply reduced the number of allocation of the booster packs to the players who signed up and kept the difference to sell at market rate. I agree that it is the store owner's right to change the price of a product when it fluctuates with the market but to change the format and the price after people sign up only to get notification of the format and price change the day before the event is simply bait and switch. I will not trust Diamond 9 for any business in the future as their pricing of events can change.

Life-Changing Baseball Instructor!…read more As a baseball parent, finding the right instructor can be challenging. After 4 seasons of play and numerous coaching experiences throughout Orange County, we finally found Hector - and what a game-changer he's been! When my 9-year-old son started struggling with pitching and batting in Spring 2025, several dads from our team decided to take our boys to Hector for pitching lessons. The results have been incredible: * Our team went undefeated this season in WYLL AA * The boys' skills improved dramatically * Most importantly, Hector fueld their their passion for baseball What sets Hector apart isn't just his technical expertise - it's his ability to make baseball fun and engaging for young players. While the winning record is fantastic, seeing my son and his teammates develop a deeper love for the game has been the biggest reward. If you're looking for a baseball instructor in the OC area who can deliver both results and inspiration, I can't recommend Hector highly enough. He's truly the best investment we've made in our son's baseball journey.

I'd highly recommend Wizard Sports as they were fast in responding and understood my circumstances.

As always, the service provided by the OC Dugout, Brian specifically, was superb. The dude is always a joy to interact with. JSA, if you are reading this, please change your sticker design. It's so ugly and gross looking. I am embarrassed to have it prominently displayed on my personalized autographs. Who's the numb nuts who approved that ugly design? I bet it was a dude because no female would ever approve that design. Is the man who approved that horrible design blind or what? Seriously, who approved it? Go buy a new set of eyes. Also, can you please handle autographed photos with care? I'm disappointed that some of my items were bent in corners that weren't bent in before. If you keep this up, I will stop letting JSA authenticate my items.

It's Tuesday, and I have my items. My FIRST time doing business with The OC Dugout, but definitely not my last as I plan on checking the site often. Definitely a store to trust your memorabilia with if your mailing something in. Thank you OC Dugout!
