Re: Corked Bats- Help or Hurt?

Posted by: () on Thu Jun 12 13:27:54 2003

Recently Sammy Sosa was caught cheating, I had a conversation with some "Baseball Experts"(never played a day past high school) I was defending the idea that cork doesnt make the ball go farther, just increases batspeed. "The Physics of Baseball" by Robert K. Adair says what im tryin to defend, can anyone send anything that confirms or denys this arguement. A web site, new paper article, anything to help me show my friend that he isnt correct to say corked bats make the ball go further.
