In the aftermath of Kay spilling the beans, the question on everyone's mind was whether the Yankees were breaking any rules.
The answer, in short, is no. Major League Baseball confirmed on Sunday that torpedo bats are perfectly legal, which means they'll only be going away if the league eventually decides to outlaw them.

It ain't the bat, it's the swing. Nothing more visually or sonically satisfying in sports than a homerun swing. I've probably watched this a dozen times. Sound on.
