They took a lot of bats from the cubs clubhouse that they're going to check-if they took Sosa's bats, and they're going to check all of them. If half of them are corked, then it hurts his image and his legacy a great deal. If none are, then I think he's ok.
They had numbers on sportscenter about this the other night. Corking your bat increases your bat speed by 1.1 mph. Meaning that if you hit a homerun 40o feet with a regular bat, that same homerun would be 404 feet with a corked bat. Not a huge difference. That doesn't make it ok, but I still believe it was an honest mistake.
Youre just helping to enable this million dollar crybaby.
