Sometime, I thought it began long ago, on summer trips to Fenway Park, when my family would drive in our oversized Chevy to Boston, park in a garage near Government Center, and take the T out to the ballpark. As I grew older and more accustomed to our…

I started to run as fast as I could towards the clump of trees and bushes to my right. My heart was beating loud enough to hear it when I got there, sweat dripping from my brow I turned around and watched the group…

who was a target. Unfortunately, the baseball squirted away and Perez scored. Luckily for Cleveland Indians, they prevented a sweep and enhanced their home record to 14-21.

They are also built to have more power in them. In the picture to the above, the bat on the top, is ash wood, and the one on the bottom is maple wood. (Stamp). In 2001 a San Francisco Giants player named Barry Bonds set the record for the most home runs hit in a single season. This was a record that no one thought was beatable.
