Hitting a baseball is one of the most difficult feats in sports and the baseball bat is the instrument to accomplish this tough task. Whether it is a thin-handled weapon built for bat speed or a hefty war club crafted for durability, the bat is the baseball player’s most customized piece of equipment. For each player featured in the book, there is a narrative highlighting a significant offensive accomplishment along with the story about the bat itself. Readers learn about the interesting characteristics of each gamer along with specific player ordering habits, the distinct bat preparation and the relative scarcity of the gamers featured.
