sammy sosa cheats

[primetime21]

Its not enough that he has arms bigger than most peoples legs he also needs to cheat to hit home runs. You would think that with the number of broken bats you see during a game a guy would not be dumb enough to cork his bat.

CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs star Sammy Sosa was ejected in the first inning of Tuesday night's game against Tampa Bay right when umpires found cork in his shattered bat.

The Cubs had runners at second and third when Sosa broke his bat with a grounder to second that at first appeared to drive in a run.

But crew chief Tim McClelland gathered with the other three umpires to examine the bat. Cubs manager Dusty Baker came out and the umpires showed the bat to him.

Mark Grudzielanek was sent back to third base, the run was wiped off the board and Sosa was ejected as he stood in the dugout.

But then again who does not cheat?

How do you cork a bat?

Well the non Penis kind you drill a hole, hollow it out, fill it with cork in the sweet spot and cover it up! Works great the balls really jump off the bat, that is untill you get caught! It's a real career killer! It's been a long time since someone has been caught!

News has been slow lately! But now! Wohooo we get to talk about Cork Bats and Will this Kill Sammy's career etc! It's funny and sad at the same time!


"Batters swinging at baseballs have to swing the big ol' bat fast, if they want good things to happen. Heavy bats make for hard work. For the last 100 years, players have tried to quicken their bats by breaking the rules. It's tricky, and it doesn't work very well. And as if I've got to tell you, it's science.

For years, perhaps as long as the game's been played, players have tried to add a little more spring to their swing by filling their bats with springy cork, and sealing them up cleanly in hopes that no one would notice.

Why cork? If you've ever fingered a flat-headed thumb tack, or muscled a handle-headed push pin into a cork bulletin board, you've probably noticed that the material, cork, is soft and spongy. Similarly, if you've ever knocked your knees with an ash wood baseball bat, you've undoubtedly noticed that it's not especially soft. It's bruisingly hard, very hard. So, it might stand to reason that a hard bat isn't as resilient as a rod of cork. A ball bouncing on cork might rebound more robustly than one knocking on wood."

nope ... albert belle was popped in 1994. i seem to recall one or two more recent than that, too.

a corked bat also helps with bat speed, which is as important as power for home run hitters.
