I was just thinking about various hitting theories, and one of the accepted tenants is that a lighter bat generates more power than a heavier one, because you can move a lighter bat quicker through the hitting zone then a heavy one.
Taking this into consideration, I wonder if Babe Ruth would have hit even more home runs with a lighter bat? I think he used the heaviest bat in major league history (or one of the heaviest bats).
What do you think? Would a lighter bat for the Babe equal more dingers?
