The Old Switcheroo

Lemme tell you a story.

So in baseball, all bats and helmets are inspected by the umpires prior to the first pitch. They check for cracks and safety issues with helmets and that all bats meet the spec of that particular league. Bats are kind of funny since not too many people really pay attention.

So this occurred before my game yesterday. I have 5 team bats that all conform to league rules. We good. The other team is inspected and they good, or maybe not...

Second inning a kid gets up with a Combat B-2. Watch this video. These bats are known for being juiced. I notice after two pitches and the offending bat is pulled from game. Claim by opposing team is it was in the pile inspected. Which it may have well been.

But there have always been stories of juiced bats coming in games after an inspection is done. Google LLWS and illegal bats if you don't believe me.
