Sunday’s Philadelphia Inquirer has this weird interesting story about Chase Utley and his batting-practice bat. A bat he had used for every batting-practice session that he had taken since the start of the 2007 season.
“The bat handle was covered by layers of gummed-up pine tar that made it look like a cross between a half-eaten Sugar Daddy and a dirty oil dipstick. The pine tar extended so far up the handle, beyond the legal 18 inches, that Utley could never have thought of using the bat in a game. From top to bottom, the bat was nicked and scarred and those who touched it risked needing a tetanus shot.“
