Funny thing is the physics of it say yea it was a warm up bat corked bats produce less power so why would a power hitter use one 🤷‍♂️

It has less inertia, yes, but an athlete of that size/strength/experience values the extra speed of the bat that less mass gives (he can use body mass to provide plenty of power) over extra mass. He was after higher bat speed and some extra bounce. It’s the same with many young pool players. When the player is young, the player is much less fundamentally sound (and in many cases physically smaller), so a heavy breaking cue will often provide more power transfer during the break. But, when that pool player refines his or her breaking technique a little (incorporating some body mass), it has been shown that the lighter the cue, the faster the breaking speed (with ideal fundamentals). This is due to achieving a higher cue speed via a lower cue mass (made up for with body mass).

I should’ve said “with good fundamentals“ instead of “with ideal fundamentals“. This is because one doesn’t have to improve their technique vastly to achieve a better break with a lighter break cue.

Correct - and MLB actually did confiscate all of Sosa's bats that were at the ballpark (50 or so of them) and none of them came back as corked, so as ridiculous as the excuse sounded it might have been true. Would have been one of the few times Sammy ever told the truth.

You do that and you're not only a cheater, but you're a liar too.

@@adamdorgant9454 there was a brief moment some years back where the Cubs had sent word that if Sammy wanted to try and get back on the team's good graces that the door was open. The only caveat being that Sammy had to make the first move and openly apologize to the club and fans. Of course Sammy is too proud to do anything like that. He still believes that the club and fans owe him for his accomplishments and he still thinks he should be in the HOF.

Hendog so he was an amazing rookie. He looked on track for an elite career, when he started having issues with muscles. It was a while before they diagnosed a mitochondrial disease. He hung in, even w/ limited playing time, & helped the terrible Devil Rays transform into the great Rays of today. Sometimes you'd see him trembling due to loss of muscle control, especially in later innings. But he was a vital part of a Rays team that went from being literally the worst in '07 to the World Series in '08. He didn't play much those seasons due to health, but he came in late summer & took calm control of the team. He made a couple huge, clutch hits that won the ALCS. In the World Series, (against my Phillies!,) the Rays were outmatched. They were a season too early. But they played well. Baldelli made an incredible double play in game two, and an incredible gutsy home run in game five to tie the game. I was rooting for the Phillies but came away with even more respect for Baldelli, as did many Phillies fans. I actually cheered when he hit that home run! Despite his tenure with the Rays being cut short, he is still a franchise legend, and by all accounts, a really good guy.
