    Pink Sam Bat please.

    Nice to see and it will be interesting to see how many companies jump in now. I don't suspect many will though

      Good move. I was disgusted by LVS and MLB's making who uses pink bats a matter of politics, not of raising awareness for breast cancer research. I am happy that players stood up to them, and that the policy is being reversed.

        I feel the opposite because I know at least at Kauffman, there were several different pink bats being sold at the game used store as game issued. They were not LS. I think many companies made the bats last year but as you know, players couldn't use them.

          Wasn't it that players could use pink bats from other manufacturers but that the bats just couldn't have the company logo on them? I thought it was only LVS bats could be promoted pink?

            Yes that would be correct.

              The White Sox were wearing pink caps in Saturday's game here against Arizona.

                    I don't think it was MLBs fault, they could care less. It was most likely Louisville Slugger's fault. Being the official bat of MLB they likely threw a fit when another team wanted to do it.

                    I didn't really see any difference that was major. Carlos Gomez was using a two tone pink bat that was a different brand, but the rest looked like only LS pink bats.

                      David Wright's pink bat was shattered into pieces, his next AB he had a regular bat, do they only get one pink bat?

                        Very possible and likely. Louisville Slugger gives them to their players for free. So I don't think they get many if more than one for that reason and the fact they are used one day.

                              They get more than 1 bat apparently. Here are AJ Pierzynski's bats from the Red Sox game today in Texas.
