This may sound naive, but I am curious. I realize that when a player makes it to the major leagues he will have bats made to his specifications. However, when a player is in the minor leagues, especially in the low classifications, does he also have bats made to his specifications or does he tend to use whatever is available of pre-existing major league models that he is comfortable with? If it is the latter, how does the player obtain the major league model bats? To what extent do minor league clubs provide more generic bats for the players? Was the practice of supplying minor league bats in the 1970's differ from the way players/clubs deal with player bats today?
