OT: Man the Torpedos!
Michael Kay explains that the Yankees made new bats "where they moved a lot of the wood into the label so the harder part of the bat is going to strike the ball."

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.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
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.

I'd rather watch bowling and that is no joke. But I know tons of people do. If they keep up the pace with these new bat designs, my guess is they all get them or none get them.
