I just wanted to pop in and say I'm a huge fan of M.B.s but I was deeply pained by Jamie's lack of understanding concerning the corked bat. He stated that it makes the bat lighter and that if the player fells he has a "magic" bat, than he will succeed. The corked bat physics are that the wood has a degree of take and give as the ball hits it. By adding a material that takes more from the pitch, being that it is cork, it is able to give more in return. I do not suggest that the myth is true, just that I was disappointed in Jamie's lack of seeing the obvious.
