How Maple Bats Kicked Ash And Conquered Baseball

TedTed
in Off-Topic
FYI: (When I was a kid I played a lot of sandlot baseball. Broken bat, no problem just take some black electrical tape and make it good as new.)

As Barry Bonds pursued the single-season home run record in 2001, no detail went uninterrogated.

His clubhouse space—three lockers, complete with recliner and big-screen TV—was written about. His exceptional plate discipline (a .515 on base percentage and a then-record 177 walks) drew awe. No less an august authority than the New York Times evaluated broadcasters’ home run calls and wondered if they would stand the test of time for historic value.
