Re: Saying no to crack?
I love how you flippantly disregard my concerns about your language on this board. If you want to attract women to collecting, making jokes at the expense of over 50% of the population sure isn't the way to do it.
Making a mockery of my point doesn't dismiss its validity. How do you expect to make me - or other women, for that matter - feel welcome on this board, when you so callously make sexist comments?
I am through with you. Enjoy your patriarchal board, revolving around a hobby where sexism is the norm. Hopefully, you can find other women to serve as sycophants for the game-used industry.Les Zukor

Re: Saying no to crack?
Ok, Ok lets get back to the original topic before we all have to consult our thesauri to comprehend that literal masterpiece;
Frik,
Do you say no to crack? Or do you embrace it with a passion?
Do you like big cracks or small cracks?Comment

Re: Saying no to crack?
Frik,
I didn't flippantly disregard your concerns. I watch my language and always try to keep it on the "G" rating level.
What you appear to be upset about is a "politically correct" issue.
I am not a sexist person, nor am I prejudiced towards most. I was making a refference to Mike Piazza being lesser of a man than I felt he should have been given the situation of his team being lambasted by the Yankees, and his opportunity to change the state of that series. He should have rose to the occasion, IMO, when Roid-ger Clemens hurled the broken bat in his direction....he didn't. In my making light of it by referring to make-up, or wearing a skirt, or any other refference I have made (including other posts), that's just small talk to excentuate the point. Don't read more into it than there is.
You appear to be overly sensitive in a bunch of different ways, and I hit on one of them by chance. I have absolutely nothing but respect, in general, for "people". I don't draw the line on sex. I also, have a lot of disrespect for people who don't deserve any. You are confusing issues, and you appear, IMO, to take expressions by others to an extreme of immense disproportion, based on ONLY your views.
I would also like to state that I believe "political correctness" has outlived it's usefulness in our society in this day and age. This whole conversation is a good indication why. This is not about me being sexist, or you being insulted as a woman, this is about Mike Piazza being a whoosie when he had a chance to turn his team into a group with newly instilled fight in them to change the direction of their fate......and that's ALL!
What really confuses me is that I have actually come to your side on threads here, and have supported you when others have made derrogatory comments towards you. One particular thread, I even suggested to you to not feel like less of a "human being" because you felt you were being attacked along the very same manner you are accusing me of here.....because you were a "female".
So, in light of our mistaken meanings and misunderstandings between eachother, please accept my apology for upsetting you. But know this....when I said "Um.....no." to your concerns, I was referring to the fact that I wasn't making sexist remarks as you viewed them, so I had nothing to watch (or stop). I was actually already in the process of attempting to find an emoticon requested by another member to help the light-hearted discussion, not to add to your dismay, when I posted the "Um......no." I hope you take this apology and explanation as sincere as I mean it.
If I may be so bold, lighten up for your own good. If you're going to hang around a group of guys, which I know no one has a problem with, expect now and then to hear the "guy talk", and don't take it to heart. No one is out to antagonize or upset you. In case you haven't noticed....I have witnesses first hand how rough the members here can be. Just play duck, and let it roll off your back like water.....it doesn't mean squat. When you try to impose your will on them, it just gets worse. We all have the right to disagree, but making something out of nothing because of a personal belief should probably be displayed to the offender by a personal email, and better left off the threads. You will have a lot less grief to deal with in the end.
Peace sister.Comment

Cracked v. Uncracked Bats
I was just curious who collects only uncracked bats, and who collects both cracked and uncracked. I myself have found that I've been trying to purchase only uncracked because I think they are "cleaner" looking and I don't have the fear that a crack will worsen. Feel free to give your input either way. RicardoRicardo Montoya

Re: Cracked v. Uncracked Bats
I collect both, and I used to prefer cracked to uncracked. Right now, I don't have a strong preference either way. I like the bats to show use, the more the better, and usually that means cracked or dead wood.
A cracked bat lived out its full useful life to the player. I get concerned when I see "game used" bats with one or two ball marks, if any. It just makes me wonder if this was a bat owned by a player, why did he stop using it?Comment

Re: Cracked v. Uncracked Bats
I'm used to cracked, as most of my collection comes from the players and coaches...I rarely buy a bat anywhere. I have no perference along these lines...my turnoffs are piece-missing bats that have had the name or logo detatched, or bats in multiple pieces.

Re: Cracked v. Uncracked Bats
Although my bat experience is very limited, I get the impression that uncracked bats result from things like: 1) He's sent to the minors and they want him to change his bat preferences; 2) He's traded, and his new team gets him bats with their team name; 3) or he switches bat types on his own.
All these possibilities can be checked if you see an available uncracked bat. If there's no evident reason why he gave it up, I'd be cautious.Comment
