Re: Piazza/Clemens bat: Your thoughts?
That is the first time I said he must be on something.
I would really like to know why he wasn't thrown out of the game and suspended from baseball for throwing a bat barrel at another player.
Could you imagine if a batter threw his bat at a pitcher?

It might be one of the better examples of the steroid era. Only a player out of his mind would react like that and then claim he just thought it was the ball?

As the new owner of the Kyle's Kurt Abbott bat barrel from that WS I would love to have the Piazza barrel to match
However for the price that it's estimated to go for (> 10K) it makes no sense to sink that amount of money in a single item when one can get several older quality items for same $$.metsbats86@aol.com

I think this piece is Hall of Fame worthy. The most infamous bat barrel ever would unequivocally trump a full uncracked gamer for me. I would love to own that barrel. The epitome of steroid rage! Museum worthy for sure IMO.

It did happen at least once. If I recall correctly, it was early in the 1972 ALCS, Tigers/A's, when Bert Campaneris threw his bat at Tiger reliever Lerrin LaGrow after LaGrow hit him with a pitch. Commissioner Bowie Kuhn, I guy I always felt was weak, did suspend Campaneris for 3 games, but, rather than cause Campy to miss ALCS and WS games, Kuhn delayed the suspension until the opening of the 1973 season.

So is the thumb down for me or for Clemens or for the incident?
