Made me think of the America’s Cup – well, before they changed all the rules and allowed catamarans. There were strict requirements for the competitors, but within those requirements innovation was welcome.
I thought there were “standards” for a reason. But then I guess if a penis doesn’t stop you from pretending you are a women…anything goes…
So much for the hardest part of the bat…
^^^^Kinda hard to heat treat wood. It usually end up being a barbecue.
Love Aaron Judge . He’s an old-fashioned baseball player!!
The one brand name you don’t want on a bat is Micro Soft!
…meanwhile, in Ohio, bats are used for a less amusing sport…
