Maple Bats
I'm watching the White Sox game and Hawk Harrelson mentions that the cost of a Maple bat has surged to $95.00 each
. Last year they were only about $60.00. Is the recession causing bat companies to inflate the prices of bats or is this a maple wood shortage?
I'd love to hear BMH chime in on this.Mike
Looking for any White Sox jersey from Richie Zisk.

Re: Maple Bats
might be because of all the crap they have to do to keep them allowed for use with the MLB.

Re: Maple Bats
Most companies are charging $85, I think SAM and us are the only two charging $95. With all the new rules for Maple in the game and the expense of the new insurance requirements and inspections by MLB's tech lab we decided $95 was a good starting point. If it's wrong, we can always go down.
