mets to use pink bats


Bearcats

Recommended Posts

A picture ran in the Ann Arbor News today of Brandon Inge with his pink bat. The odd thing is, it wasn't totally pink.

Dude, that's called pine tar...

That makes no sense. The bat is pink at the barrel and on the handle, but tan in between. If it were just pine tar, the handle area wouldn't be as pink as the barrel. A more likely bet would be that when the batmaker colored the bats, whatever device was being used to dip the bats in pink paint held the bat at its middle. They did a piece on some of the Phillies getting pink bats, and they showed the bats being dipped into the paint but being held by a loop of leather tied around the handle. This was probably dunked into a can of paint at each end, but the middle of the bat never reached the paint.

In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

Trust me, it's pine tar, a lot of guys apply it there...
