You are very correct when it comes to hitting the ball farther and hitting home runs no one can deny that however in the MLB with pictches as fast as they are a lighter bat may allow you to get a second of a faster swing which allows for more accurate hits so if your goal is to hit more accurately and get on base it will provide a very small advantages

[@chrisz.2297]

WorldIsFilledB sorry, mistype: harder to hit

[@nicholasbenge2596]

Gareth Belfast one. Pitchers will attempt to add pine tar, lard, or use some type of item to make the ball heavier on one side to make the ball spin and jump more unpredictably and thus harder to hit. If caught, the player is ejected from the game, all the current balls are replaced and removed from circulation, and the player is subject to a fine and/or suspension.

About the corked bat...wasn’t there a time when an ump confiscated a bat and locked it away as “evidence” and then one of the players broke into the umpires room mission impossible style and stole it back? I remember hearing that somewhere.

[@speedybasket5205]

Remeber smt like that too

[@jimdennis9328]

July 15, 1994 at Comiskey Park, Albert Belle (Indians) was the hitter. Cleveland reliever Jason Grimsley crawled through a drop ceiling into the umpire’s dressing room and switched the bat. Belle was suspended 10 games, which was never fully served due to appeal and the players’ strike.

Chris Sabo’s bat was nothing but “a corked bat they fool around with in batting practice.” Oh those zany prankster professional baseball players.

[@nomisteaks]

I believe it. Why would you not use a corked bar at first but then somehow signal the batboy to bring you a corked bat and intentionally break your own bat. Doesn’t make sense. Maybe he could tell it was corked and isn’t say anything but he definitely didn’t cheat on purpose

Don't let the blatant cheating in the second clip distract you from the fact that this game between the MARLINS AND THE ORIOLES was being NATIONALLY TELEVISED on FOX.

Though 7 day suspension for Sabo is tough. It is meant as an example to all players. I do think he was innocent. But, it is what it is.

I wanna say that umpire in the 1st clip is the same one that tried to talk down the Mets manager in that ejection video, talking about "the situation" lol

In the third video, they're concerned about some substance inside the pitcher's glove, but they completely ignore the obvious substance on the brim of his hat.

[@bigfootadmirer8627]

I heard a corked bat is harder to swing because of the weird weight the cork creates when swung but I think that is just a rumor

[@yamaha230xxx]

the sabo clip, he didnt know he was using that bat, it was a pre game " show off bat " they use to drill some hits to fans during warm up, the bat boy was new and bought him that bat by mistake.

Like my favorite wrestling manager, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan used to say, "Win if you can. Lose if you have to. But always cheat."

Taking the glove to the President of umpires of NL is hilarious like what’s the chance of him being at the game. These were the good ol days of baseball so many players cheating and never got caught lol. The Sabo incident is hilarious and batboy had great laugh for sure

Nothing will ever compare to the George Brett pine tar incident. Billy Martin was an absolute genius.

[@petiepab123]

If Sabo KNEW it was corked, he wouldnt have used it after half cracking it on the pitch prior, he would have gotten a new bat knowing it may break apart with contact and he would get caught.

[@halibut1249]

But he wanted to get a hit with his lucky corked bat, umpires be damned.

You should use OBS that doesn’t have a watermark and also it is more better in quality

I love Dempsey. Great catcher!

[@bigsassyster]

Funny to see Sabo get caught cheating, and then they show his teammate Boone who is also a known cheat with steroids. The good old days, when everyone cheated right in front of your face.

[@domerthekid6010]

Sago didn’t know he was using a corked bat

@@domerthekid6010 I agree. It looked to be one of the two guys at the end of the bench he said something to when he was walking away at the end.

Seeing a younger Joe West and knowing he's still an ump is so depressing.
