Two players used the bats. I'm not a Yankees fan, but all these articles are making it seem like the bats are the reason. That does not explain why the rest of the lineup went off. Perhaps poor pitching is the better explanation. Too much is being made of these bats.

Also, golf club technology basically does the same thing. Everything is about making a bigger sweet spot. Oversize drivers and irons didn't seem to ruin the game.

Professional golf just rolled-back the ball they play with because distance is a problem.

Drivers have COR and volume limits, etc. Professionals are dropping blades and playing game improvement irons. Dropping 2i and playing 7w
