Corked bats have no affect on the flight of the ball??

Watching this corked bat special on ESPN...I guess they are gonna cut open the bat he used to hit #469..This should be interesting. Tune into ESPN!!!!! Put the Trial on hold foR A SEC!

Sorry that is home run 498...These guys look funny holding the bat and sawing it.. but why did they tell that guy to stop sawing right before they went to commercial??

Makes the nickname Chris Berman gave him oh so long ago that much better.... Sammy "Say it aint" Sosa. LOL

No corked bat for #498

cork is meant to increase bat speed.. i would say bat speed effects the flight of a ball..

valentine is a moron and this is just another example why.

a player could just use a bat thats an ounce lighter
theyre just too dumb to realize this

i think the cork in a bat has the same effect as the thin face golf drivers....they make the ball come off it hot....i think....but what do i know....
