Looks Like Mickey Matnle Used To Cork His Bat


quote:

“During our examination of the bat, we noticed a circular area .75 inches wide in the center of the top barrel. The finish in the area has also been touched up to mask the circular area. Alterations of this nature indicate the barrel has been drilled and filled with cork….we had the barrel x-rayed and (it) confirms that the barrel has been drilled and filled with cork."

I thought it was shown that corking doesn't do anything to help

Every generation has cheated in baseball. It annoys me that people act like the Steroid Era was the only era that cheated.

Best MM story ever. One I recently heard about much to my chagrin.
