They also have corked bat's ...It's all a show
I wasn't gonna go there, but you are correct on this.
Did you see when Abreu's bat started to "peel".......I have played baseball for over 30 years (3 of which were professionally), and I have never seen a bat "flake" and "peel" the way his bat was peeling.

Here's one for you: how come these guys hit mammoth shots during the home run contest when the ball is thrown at about 70 - 75 mph AT MOST, but when they connect with a 90+ mph fastball in a game it doesn't travel as far as these HR hitting contest shots....?? Answer: they use juiced balls and corked bats in these contest in order to generate more bat speed and therefore ball distance to put on a show.......Bud Selig has been the #1 perpitrator of turning baseball into WWF.
