Major League baseball better get a clue!
the lead sentence in this article "Someone's going to die at a baseball game. . . "
In Reds/Twins game yesterday, hitter's bat shatters and strikes the umpire in the head behind his mask. The umpire is down for 10 minutes. He's now out for the series. MLB has tried to regulate the Maple bats by testing but obviously this is not working. Barry Bonds got his homer record with a Maple bat, many players observed the success and have been emulating by using Maple wood. The wood shatters, period.
