    "Another homer last night for the league leader using a Zelazoski bat. I'm not inferring anything, but it might be fun to follow.

    Zelazoski was on the post-game a few nights back talking about pretty much everything in this article; interesting read and interesting to hear someone talk about bats.

    I hope they catch on, the shrapnel from the standard exploding maple bats is going to mess somebody up sooner or later.

    Maple bats only explode if they are made poorly.

    Had to laugh at this phrase: "new wood technologies that were recently adopted".

    Russian spies have been alerted and are diggin around this new technology. They might be willing to trade some rock technology.

    I was partial to the phrase: "Heavy bats were undesirable because of the weight". Who knew?
