I saw this auction from ESM and remember seeing Diaz use this bat often in 2007. It's an odd looking bat, especially with the "burned" look to it so I was wondering what burning the bat helps with??

Kyle,
Some players beleive that if the light the bat on fire for a short amount of time that it will make the bat harder and will dry it out a little more. Some pour some alcohol on it so that is more like a flash burn just to treat it. Guess its almost like the older bats being flame tempered.
