NO! NO!...I saw the headline for this and I said NO! NO! NO! This is scary. Colvin has rapidly become my favorite current Cubs player. He just goes out and plays hard. I wish him well and hope he wears a Cubs uni for long, long time.<br />Regarding the bats... By now, some company, somewhere could develop a composite bat that is similar to the feel of wood without the thing exploding like wood. Just takes money. Bud could get the thing started with some kind of investigation that includes possible solutions. But, he probably won't. The commisioner won't care until a superstar gets killed. Even then, it will take him several years to decide what to do. MLB needs a new commish.hpwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689680478009641274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916244525704951667.post-6893758179235461612010-09-20T14:04:53.213-04:002010-09-20T14:04:53.213-04:00Man that was scary and quite a bummer. It was gre...Man that was scary and quite a bummer. It was great to see Colvin blossom this season too even through his limited play time. My fiance is a big Cubs fan so she's bummed too. I agree with the maple ban but I doubt it'll come around soon. Maple is harder than ash that means more kinetic energy transfered to the ball, i.e. more home runs i.e. more excitement. <br /><br />I guess the other option would be to allow metal bats. NEVER. Man the more technology gets in the picture with tighter wound balls, harder bats, steroids, the more I respect the old timers and then things they accomplished. Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire will never hold a candle to Mantle, Ruth, DiMaggio, ect ect.cynicalbuddhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13459221069829023793noreply@blogger.com
