The major leagues have diameter limits on the size of the barrels on bats. With all the technology these days it would be possible to swing a foot wide bat.... just no one can do it 'cuz it makes a moquery of the game.

yah i hate to see this... i believe he is innocent personally. i live in chicago, been a cubs fan all my life. he uses the "corked practice bat" to show off for the fans, who love it when he hits towering home run blasts during batting practice.
i hope to god it was an accident... its not funny at all... he is such a good guy and made the cubs, the shitty shitty cubs, somewhat noticable in MLB(lol) all the fans love him and theyd hate to find out that he has been cheating this whole time...

MLB knows corking goes on all the time but they dont impose any serious penalities because more home runs = more happy fans = more money.

So sammy will be suspended for a week wow thats really tuff. Oh and I'm sure it was just a practice bat. Like a player is ever going to practice with equipment thats he can't use in the game.

dam my eyes hurting from all the eyerolling

he says it's a pratice bat, but why the hell would he use a lighter bat at pratice, you use a heavier bat at practice so that normal bats will seem lighter to you then. Also why do you think the batters on the on deck circle take swings with the doughnut on, so that it weighs more and right when they come up to bat they've been swinging the bat with the doughnut which makes it weight more, but without the doughnut the bat seems light as hell then.

Sosa, a six-time All-Star who reached 500 career homers earlier this season, hasn't had a homer since May 1 and his power numbers have dropped drastically since he was beaned April 20

Sosa just came off the disabled last Friday after having the nail taken off his big right toe and missing 17 games.

wow what a bad time to get caught with corking a bat!! hahahaha

Originally posted by occrider Wasn't there an incident recentely between sosa and drugs? I heard that there was some question as to his status as being drug free. Apparentely, after a game at a press conference he told everyone that he would take a drug test any time any place ... so a reporter said "how about now?" and sammy completely cursed him out or blew him off. Not sure if it's true, but I heard it from someone.

He said it but under diffrent curcimstances. In an interview with espn he said he was clean and would have no problem being the first one to take a test. A while later after a game some guy asked him. I remember seing it on t.v, and I think he went nuts because 1) they had just lost and 2) because the guy was being a total asshole. Seems like he was just pissed in general, I could be wrong though.

Originally posted by occrider So why does he need a cork "practice" bat?

he said its supposed to impress the fans, and give them a little show when they are watching him practice
I think its an accident too...

D00dz, these guys are proffessionals. They didn't get where they are now not knowing what's going on.

There is absolutely no way this is an accident.

yea it was an accident that the umpire saw the cracked bat. LOL

although i can see why he did this. after coming back from a business trip from chicago and seeing the white sox play, chicago fans need something to cheer for. (and yes i know he plays for the cubs)
