ok, so I checked (for laughs) and saw that Cordova played in 952 ML games. If you have at least 70 of them (wow!), that means that he used a new bat every 13.6 games. Now, of course there are more bats out there somewhere, so he went through bats at a better clip than one every 13 games... I guess he was pretty rough on a bat. It makes for a good study in how many games a bat actually lasts for a player.

When I took the tour at the Louisville Slugger Museum, they said the average major leaguer goes through about 100 bats per season. Based on your number of 952, that would mean there are in the neighborhood of 550 Cordova gamers out there.
