One more reason to hate the Cubs....Sosa - " I think I just grabbed the wrong bat, I grabbed the one I use for batting practice" After breaking his bat during last nights game only to find there was cork inside of it....um yeah, I believe ya sammy.  |

Sosa has now tarnished his reputation.

SilverOne posted this in another thread Good Read. Thanks SilverOne

They took all his bats for inspection. So.. they may find that this was the only bat tampered with. The Cubs or Sosa said nothing about this "C" on top of his bat.
Sosa said in the post game interview:
I use that bat for batting practice,'' Sosa said. "It's something that I take the blame for. It's a mistake, I know that. I feel sorry. I just apologize to everybody that are embarrassed.''
He said during the interview that he accidentally grabbed the wrong bat.
The thing that is bothering me is all the people saying what about all these home runs? Or... this tarnishes his accomplishments, etc. Yes it does tarnish his image. Makes him look terrible. But what he has done up to this point? No, it doesn't. He still would have hit just as many home runs, he still would have just as many rbi's and he average would be the same.
In case some are wondering...
A corked bat does not make the ball travel farther off the bat. Its an myth. It doesnt work at all. The only thing it can do is maybe increase bat speed but the mass isnt the same so it actually doesn't have any benifit at all for distance or power. If you take out the bat mass and replace it with cork it generates less energy to the ball. If someone wants to hit a ball farther they need to use a bat with more mass.. a heavier bat. They been interviewing Physicists on the radio stations here and they all are saying the above. One guy was laughing at how the media is spinning it.
Also.. here is some good reading
http://www.bostonbaseball.com/whitesox/baseball_extras/physics.html
Accident or not it was a terrible thing that can happen. That type of bat is illegal and he has to pay the price for using it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending Sosa, He was very foolish to use this bat. No matter what he says about it being a mistake, it happened and it shouldn't have. It's dissappointing as a fan. |
