Again, WHY would I? Do you understand how much money I spend on Conference...we're talking an average of 50K (last year nearly double that)...that investment is jeopardized by shaved bats, because if you get caught you LOSE YOUR CONTRACT. Anyone who plays for me, knows this. I warn all my players day 1. You cheat, you're gone.

But obviously in this day and age, no one believes in hard work, because shaved bats make a bat hitter good. However, those who know me, DO know the time I have put in to get better and the work it's taken.

I don't care what anyone here thinks. I care what my players and my bat manufacturer (Easton) thinks. Helmer knows me, and that I'm honest. THAT is what matters most to me.
