They switched to sugarcane bats in 1934. Those things had way more life in them then the current models. Learn your history, son!
This is fun!

FYI, and I just found this out, wooden bats are legal to be used in the NCAA as long as they meet the BBCOR requirements

No, BBCOR has certain standards so hollow would be out.

He was but he used it during the season. That dude was ripping the ball with a wooden bat all season too, if I can recall

The teams from 1935 - 1937 featured one Bama Rowell. Bama was the 7th Tiger to make it to the bigs. His best talent was noodling catfish out of the river. He had a team to feed, ya know. He went on to play with the Bees, Braves and finished his careerwith the Phillies. He hit 19HRS with that sugarcane bat, but never quite got into the HoF.
Bama would hit clean up on this team, but that's not a knock on the current group of Tigers. Bama was simply that good.

Pretty sure I am just referring to it as an added bonus. When you are recruiting against other SEC schools in baseball any little bit helps.

In 1938 the Michigan State baseball team featured Billy " Mister" Hunter, he was a bad arse speed demon. He once stole 4 bases in one inning and impregnated the coaches daughter before rounding third base. The story was insane but true.
The baby that was born? Skip Bertman.

She had twins. They were born 20 years apart. The later twin also enjoyed a stellar coaching career but was "slower" in many ways, losing to teams such as UAB and ULM. I can't repeat his name since this is a "family forum."
